This volume includes 3 Queen & Country books, all written by Rucka but with different illustrators. I absolutely hate Leandro Fernandez' exaggerated, physically impossible and fragile representation of Tara Chace in the last book, Operation: Crystal Ball. My first exposure to Rucka's stories was in Whiteout, and Stumptown, books with strong female characters, beautifully illustrated. The first two books in Queen and Country are similar -- the third's illustrations are crap.[return][return]Well, with that out of the way, I continued reading Queen and Country up to the last book,and enjoyed the series. It's your classic hyper-competent, deadly spies working undercover.
