You&#8217;re kept on your toes all the time, and can never be sure who&#8217;s who, who&#8217;s ally, friend or enemy. And everytime friendly, likeable characters are introduced, you start fearing for their lives.<\/p>\n<p>True, it takes a while to get used to Frank&#8217;s way of writing, of moving to and fro through time, flashbacks, now and then, but once you do, you&#8217;ll enjoy it enormously. You could start reading any of the short stories, they work quite well as standalones. If you want to start reading the books, I recommend starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/22602019-a-last-act-of-charity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8222;A last act of Charity&#8220;<\/a> because otherwise you&#8217;d be too confused. And believe me, you will be confused anyway. But in a nice, exciting way.<\/p>\n<p>(Oh, and in case you&#8217;re wondering, I still don&#8217;t own an ebook reader.
