**** SPOILER ALERT ****
Morin is back again with "Lair Of The Dog: Mission 15 ( Black Ocean, Mercy For Hire )" the latest installment of the adventures of Esper and Krew.
Morin, as usual, does rich world building, we get to see Kubu's homeworld and his people. We, the readers, have been privileged to watch Kubu grow and mature as a character from the equivalent of a puppy, to what he is now in this book. A fully mature adult that does what he needs to, to protect those he loves.
Tiffany's maturation has continued and she steps up into the breech when Don Rucker's secret weapon turns up.
I am going to devour the next volume in the series. While I highly recommend this tale since it can stand on it's own, I strongly encourage you, my fellow reader, to go back and start at the beginning of the series before reading this story. Doing so will deepen your enjoyment of this story.
In the interest of transparency: I was given a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
It is my own honest opinion. ( )
