Lendon, \'Soldiers and Ghosts\'

[philsidnell]

I read this quite a while ago (one of the perks of my previous job was reading things from many publishers pre-publication) so can't remember it in great detail. My overall impression though is that it wasn't what I was expecting from the title and that in places I found it a bit repetitive and long-winded. It was, however, original, and the man can obviously write very well from a literary point of view, although just occasionally I thought it felt like he was trying just a bit too hard to be poetic where a more straight forward discussion of a point might have been clearer. Overall, I'd give this an 8 out of 10. If he has more to say, and if he is reading this, I would happily commission him to write something for me!
