This is an extremely fast-paced read, which piles crisis upon crisis and climax upon climax, but without trying the reader's patience. This is not an artificially plotted series of events, but a story of real danger, real suspense, and inescapable conflicts. Rob really keeps you turning pages, so much so that I was often a few pages further on before I caught some of the deeper, more intellectual revelations that were carefully exposed.The protagonist is a beautiful young guerrilla named Nora, who is forced to embark upon a rescue mission after her team is captured by the forces of the Nephilim. She is a ruthless (in a good way) and unshakably loyal warrior, shouldering an impossible burden of responsibility. Although she presents a cold exterior, we get to know the slightly more vulnerable woman at the core. We not only want her to succeed as a champion of humanity, but as a heroic individual.Although the language seems a bit forced in a few places, this was still a thoroughly enjoyable story, and one I can heartily recommend.
