Science fiction which is gritty and real, sly and sarcastic
The Union leader hero of Windswept (book 1), having finally attained blessed retirement doing what she loves and just wanting to be left alone, is called back to help when her former nemesis rebirths himself as a treacherous messianic leader for the downtrodden.
The author has done a great job here of raising the stakes and coming up with a new story which builds on and surpasses the previous book. The sly, sarcastic humor is, again, a great feature of the narrative--but does not detract from the seriousness and suspense of the plot or the gritty realness of the worldbuilding. I highly recommend both of these books.
