First I want to point out how excited I was when I first opened up this book and realized it was nearly twice as long as Wolfhound.  Second I want to point out that I noticed about 20 or so spelling and word errors, as well as one instance where the author restructured a sentence but didn't delete the excess.  I will not judge a self-published author by their gramatical and spelling errors.  To do so would mean I was giving the author a bad review based on his editing skills instead of on the story itself.  That aside I really thought this was a fun read.The book kept a good pace, and at no point did I consider skipping a few pages in order to keep myself interested.  I can't really go into much of what I enjoyed due to spoiling some of the content, but I will say that the ending was not what I expected it to be.Now I did want to point out my gripes about this book.  For the entire first half of the book our protagonist could not buy a clue about social situations.  He was completely oblivious to the fact that he could actually rely on some of his subordinates, forcing his supporting cast to really get on his case about it.  Also everytime he did anything right, he would wallow in self doubt and expect his world to collapse.  Even though everyone else knows he did an amazing job.  This process repeated itself to the point I was thoroughly annoyed with the whole situation.  I just wanted to reach into the novel and slap someone.I dwelled a lot on some of my complaints, but these were minor plot points and didn't decrease my enjoyment of the book at all.  Having read the whole thing in less than 18 hours, which included a work shift and a nights sleep, I can say that I was definately excited about and completely immersed in this novel.  If you read Wolfhound then you definately need to get this book.
