Responses/Links
Several Influential bloggers have already reviewed Halo of Power. Here is a sampling of their quotes:
I feel strongly that this is the best installment yet… The plot is, as always, interesting and excitement-filled… It’s exceptionally well-paced.
It brings to bear thought-provoking societal issues about who really is in charge and the dark forces that often can be at play without the knowledge of the general population. Mr Holden has stated that at the time of planning the final reveal the Me Too movement was just gathering pace, which very much inspired him to mould the powerful team necessary to combat these evil doers… and the satirical humour was a nice touch, too.
