rated 7/10: well worth reading
This is a novella. It wraps up -- and closes off -- a short series of books. It can be read alone though it takes a while for me to work out who is (or is not) who.
This is the only one of the series that I have read. It still makes sense -- and surprises me with its depth.
As I understand it, the first two books have the hero, "Legion", following the back-page blurb to act as "an incredible intelligence agent". This book is more introspective, as Legion battles "to understand and control his own divided nature."
This is a story of a man with mental issues and his efforts to ensure his own sanity. Presented with enough action to make it enjoyable. Well, I'm not sure whether or not I really understood it... but I read it, enjoyed it, took away more than just satisfaction at baddies being defeated.
Speaking of baddies... Very unbelievable, both them and their science. But who cares, it's a novel. Fiction. I enjoyed it. And gained a little bit more than I expected.
