Much like his protagonist, Naz, John Winston, once again, casts his magical spell on readers, continuing to take us to where many writers dare not go. I can’t recommend this book, and the whole series, enough. IA: Union offers a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, one where Naz hones his gifts and applies them to complete his mission.
