Inneresting book and great review! But also interesting that NYJB didn’t tag line you with The Grievers! BTW, love the cover of the I Wear a Black Hat….
Thanks! Since I don’t write for them much anymore, I never bothered to update my tagline. I think it’s a cool cover, too; one thing I didn’t mention in the review is that, given the image of the Guy Fawkes mask on the cover, I was surprised that the book makes no mention of either Anonymous or V for Vendetta, both of which blur the line between heroes and villains and use the mask as a symbol.
And interesting synchronicities, earlier today I watched a funny video that featured Guy Fawkes all over the place, including an auditorium FULL of him!
