I'll probably give it 2 stars (out of 5) in my rating system.

I didn't want to color your opinion while you were still reading it, though.

I've struggled through the first two, and I already have the third downloaded, so I guess I'll make my way into it soon.

I might have to add the one you recommended below to my list, though. (I still have "Ice Station" by Matt Reilly waiting for me; wasn't that one of yours?)
