This is the book that got me reading books again, I got this book in nelson, when I was about to go tramping, well I started this book and never made it on the tramp, the reason is simply, this book is a pager turner, from the start to the finish this story is written perfectly, the story is well told at a fast pace that lets you gain a insight to the charcters, plus the bonus is this story is the start of a series of books that I have followed for over 10 years, buy it today, (just don't plan to do anything else once you start reading relic)
