However, his next book, Entry Island, is a brilliant standalone, still with a Lewis connection and I loved it. If you haven't got to it yet, then I highly recommend it. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-21576245787092861212015-03-16T09:28:22.262-05:002015-03-16T09:28:22.262-05:00I almost picked up one of his books but put it dow...I almost picked up one of his books but put it down after learning it's part of a series and I wasn't sure if it's the first book (not all of his books were displayed, you see).
