This short novella, despite being part of a series (aren't they all?), has to be judged on its own merits. It reads very well and holds the reader interested (though not spell-bound). Only after one has read it, one starts to ask questions. Such as: Why is Armonia absolutely necessary for the new dictatorship to emerge? If one has to invent an enemy, HLP is a strangely esoteric one. One would expect something more picturesque (and darkly evil, of course). And the ending (without revealing it) is contrived. I, for one, cannot understand the attraction. With all these qualifications, well worth reading, largely for its entertainement value. The motto blurbs at the beginning of each chapter are the most thought provoking and suggest that Mr. Cantrell could do better than just provide enjoyable passtime.
