I've bought Lancejack after (and I mean immediately after) I've finished reading C.R.O.W.In short, the very high quality level stays the same although the plot and the writing is different.And now at length, there are two types of sequel books:1. Same character, different place - most books' sequels are in essence more chapters in the previous books. The main characters change very little but they are in a new place or new atmosphere.2. Same place, different character - IMO this is the harder kind to write well. The character develops and grows from the previous books. However, personal growth is hard to achieve via writing. This is why so few books manage to do it convincingly.Philip Richards does it spectacularly. Andy changes in Lancejack due to his experience in CROW.The story itself also changes to the better, from an all out attack to urban warfare and rebellion.I looking forward to see Eden!
