""Cannon Law" follows the adventures of Frank Stone, Ruy Sanchez, and the rest of the United States of Europe delegation to Rome as a rogue Spanish Cardinal seeks to usurp the Papal throne. This book moved faster than several in the series and had plenty of enjoyable action and character interactions mixed into the inevitable politics. Don't, of course, try to read it without the rest of the series: nearly all the characters are from former books and without the backstory it won't make much sense."
"Not too bad a book. I checked it out from the library but it probably isn't one I would go out of my way to buy.
Like the rest of the series it has a mix of cliche and stereotype and stock characters. They're given a pretty good treatment and the fact that it's done by a decent author and amused fans probably helps. The plot could (and does) verge on outrageous cliche. But it's redeemed by a certain tongue in cheek good humor.
It's a fun read, and surprisingly well researched, but it's not a very serious read by any measure."
"I enjoy history (even alternate history) a lot, but dealing with the byzantine plot lines in this book and it's immediate predecessor gave me a head-ache. The 1632 Series was supposed to be about the ACTION, not just lots of talk. Anyway, the book is still very good--just a bit long for the story..."
"A good look at the role of the Catholic Church during this time period. I'm looking forward to a return of some of my favorite West Virginians, though, as this book featured ancillary characters in expanded roles."
