I found this book disapppointing in several respects: First, I thought it was a continuation of the story of Rennthyl and Seliora. It is not. In fact, The character was not one with which I was familiar from any earlier Modesitt work. Secondly, the character's motivation is difficult to discern, although it is clearly stated as following the orders of his boss. Thirdly, the character is too quick to kill, and does it often. Forth, I would advise readers to skip pages when the character goes into the library or the dispatch archives. What he does in there is BORING, and barely intlelligible. Finally, the book gets bogged down in the particulars of several small unit combat situations, and they seem to go on for ever. Not up to Modesitt's normal standards.
