I read the first two books in this series and thought that I had read this one too but so much of this summary is unfamiliar to me that I believe that I not only never finished but probably never started. I remember having a hard time getting my hands on this book at the time so it is entirely possible I never got to read it. But now I am contemplating finding a copy and finishing the trilogy based on this review. I remember Ransom from the other two books and I would like to think he helps good triumph.
