I love David Gerrold's writing and sense of humor (for one thing, we seem to have similar opinions of lawyers). I hadn't known that "A Covenant of Justice" even existed until I found "Under the Eye of God" in a used book store, read it, was left dangling, immediately found "A Covenant of Justice" used on Amazon, ordered it, and have now found closure. This duology is a little more "out there" than some of his other books, but still an entertaining read. I just wish that he would finish The Chtorr series!

This is the second, and last, book of the series ( I know, a duology is weird).

The thing about Gerrold's writing, in my opinion, is that it's rarely about a particular plot or character, it's really about humanity. If you've read his relatively popular War Vs the Chtorr series you may know what I mean.

His works are always humorous with amusing main characters and thought provoking ideas about what humanity is. Unfortunately, the plot often feels like it's added on or is simply there to give the characters something to do.

This particular book and its predecessor are no exception. If the plot had been a little more compelling I'd be giving it five stars.

In the end though I was entertained and will probably remember parts of these books for years to come. To me that is worth four stars.
