    • On Top of the Dead on Oct. 25, 2011
      star star star star
      Good fun story, with very dark overtones. Slade is a more complex character than I would have expected - not perfect, not necessarily likeable, but very pragmatic and practical, and certainly engaging.

      star star star star star
      A great resource. Very much a step by step guide, with some simple things to implement, and also a few leftfield ideas.
