Not Hunter's best, but one hell of a finish.

In reading the other reviews of this book, I find it difficult to understand the continuing reference to great humor in the Second Saladin.Yes, there were some humorous moments, but moments were all They were.Hunter starts the book with a nice action sequence , but then things seem to settle down for longer than might otherwise be Necessary or Desirable. It was interesting to see the use of characters Which appear in Hunter Subsequent books: such as Blacklight, and the twists and turns at the end are worthy of Mr. Hunter's talents. My only problem with the book, as already alluded to, is the amount of time spent filling the middle of the book with plot elements Which did little to advance the action or to maintain the reader's interest.Overall, a good read, but not up to Point of Impact or Hunter's other later works.
