Phil Smith reviews Feral Class by Marc Garrett.

"This reassembling threatens to pull everything apart and bring Garrett down, but even the moments of almost self-obliteration are told in a calm, direct way that lets the reader in to the rebuilding." Phil Smith.

I thank them for taking the time to get to know what I was going for!
