This story is a fun read and moves at a good pace. There are plenty of little questions and clues thrown in to keep the reader turning the pages.Although I kept guessing at the history surrounding Gladstone, it was a surprise when finally revealed. The methods use by the people of Gladstone to defend themselves against a superior enemy, are believable with a couple of good twists thrown in to keep the tension going.I enjoyed Gladstone enough to read the second book in the series.As I tend to read a fair number of books by 'new' authors, I accept that some errors creep in. The number of punctuation, grammatical and spelling errors in Gladstone was unacceptably high and distracting.[2013/10/12] Since I posted this review, John has gone through the book and has corrected the mistakes. This should make for an easier read.
