The fifth book in this series continues on as before. Easy, if long read, with the plot continuing to develop nicely.

I can't decide whether Turtledove's style of constantly recapping the plot is a good or a bad thing. One on hand it is almost impossible to lose track of the story. On the other I think that five books in we don't need to be reminded continually that the probe the Lizards sent showed men on horseback etc...

Overall an enjoyable read.
