A great sequel
Sequels can be tricky, unless they are done right. Kirkeby did this one right. I actually liked this one better than the first one. I think the author has grown as a writer, and the story is more developed. The characters have depth and are the kind you want on your side, especially Virgil. Virgil is on a mission and special op, handle "red stick two" and so it goes. A great story. I look forward to reading more from Kirkeby. A Red Stick Three?? Maybe?
