Reviewed: 05-06-23
This novel is very well written. The word play is very enjoyable. I found the story to pull at my heart and make me think about the world.
I have never really thought much about India but this story brings what I imagine the heart of India might be like if one looks hard enough.
The adventure parts were thrilling and the love story was surprising.
Overall a good read.

This story held your attention and was a fun read. The characters were well developed and even though this is the latest in the series it was easy to follow all the characters if you haven't read the previous books. The ending was satisfying as well as the story arch.

The mission seems simple enough: Extract a pharmaceutical magnate from Russian soil. But nothing is as it appears to be. A desperate call thrusts Captain Tucker Wayne and his stalwart military dog, Kane, into a frantic race to rescue the brilliant-but-deluded Abram Bukolov from a cadre of skilled assassins. Hunted and betrayed at every turn, Tucker and Kane must discover the truth behind a horror out of the ancient past that can be weaponized to terrorize the modern world. As time rapidly runs out, the deep and intimate bond between dog and soldier will be tested to the extreme.

Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."
