Though a little too short and a bit disjointed at times, Book Nine in this series serves as a good jumping off point for the next stage of the series.  If you haven't been reading along, do not try to start the story here or you will be extremely confused.  This book sees some dangling plot lines completed, some new characters introduced and at least in the first half of the story we get lots of action.  I loved the details about John's Castle at the Lake, and I had to laugh at the accountant's plight at the prison as he tried to keep a neat inventory of the salvage operations.  Really good idea there.I am hoping this an example of the author pausing to catch his breath, because the stage has been set for the plague that has been hinted at over the last few books.
