This review is from: Lost Days (Lost Millennium, No. 3) (Paperback)

If you have read the first two books in this series, you should be sure to pick this one up as well. Mike Moscoe has a talent for describing battle scenes, and he puts that talent to good use here.

There are a few twists that set this one apart from the first two books. The author lets us see what the 21st century would be like if events followed the course of books one and two. Also, the Kurgans are joined in Lost Days by clans from the far east. Moscoe leans heavily on the relationship tensions between all the main characters to keep dramatic tension going, and as always, the build up to battle is the main focus.

I had a few concerns with this book: The last two or three chapters seemed like they were written in a rush, and could have used one more edit. I found a number of typos, and it was not clear what had become of some characters. Moscoe was clearly leaving the door open for another sequel, but I still felt the ending could have given more details than it did. Even so, I enjoyed the book thoroughly and would recommend it to Lost Millennium fans.
