This book begins with a bang and never lets up. Even giving the first sentence would be a spoiler, so I'll stick with character. I loved Annie, a young woman who has owned a saloon in Sitka since the recent death of her mother, the original owner. Annie is delightful as are friends she meets as the book unfolds.Others have said that the book slows down in the middle. I disagree. It just shifts from a physical fight for survival to a think-and-plan phase in which Annie is helped by her new friend Wally, a computer geek. It also involves a period of game-playing with Annie forced to think on her feet more often than not. The ending is again, all action (with some serious game-playing on Annie's part) in which she has to outwit and outrun her enemies, who are some real nasties! Loved the book!
