Eagle Rising

David Devereux's second outing for "Jack" Magician by profession, Bastard by disposition. The first book "Hunters Moon", was a bloody enjoyable romp which I read a year or so ago, this one "Eagle Rising", was even better. No difficult second album problems detected here at all. Great story well plotted and very well written, despite everything he does, "Jack" is becoming a likeable bastard.

As after reading "Hunters Moon", I again tried to keep the theme going and get into Charles Stross's "Atrocity Archive" but failed. Not sure why, maybe I'll try again when I'm not immediately comparing it to the more readable Mr Devereux.
