Lynch, Scott -- Red Seas Under Red Skies
Con men masquerading as pirates! Could not be better. Well, actually
it could, a bit; this was about one-and-a-half plots worth of book,
and the con got short-changed. Nonetheless, pure entertainment. Begins
with a bald-faced cliff-hanger of a flash-forward, and finishes with a
bald-faced cliff-hanger of an ending -- I can't remember the last
author I found who was so gleeful about his storytelling. (Mind you,
when we got to the flash-forward point for the second time and Lynch
repeated the cliffhanger gimmick, he tripped over his clown shoes.
No doughnut for that page.)
