Dave Just finished reading Monsoon. It took all of four days to get through the 950ish pages; I just couldn't put the darned thing down. This is an all too common affliction where Mr Smith's books are concerned! It met all my expectations and more and is yet another fine work by a master storyteller at the peak of his craft. I can scarcely wait for the next installment!

Also for Maria: Concerning the prophecy - It is FICTION. Don't take the story as factual please. Fiction writers invent stories, at least that is what I believe the word fiction means.

Maria Wrong Information! Mr. Smith writes about a prophecy in Islam about a red haired boy who will come from the sea. There is NO such prophecy in Islam. Authors should be careful about incorporating fictitious beliefs in any religion.
