Review:

This is not a perfect book, but it is a well written book.  I loved the character exploration and how these characters included revelations that explained actions both current and past.  The story unfolded nicely and motivations became apparent in many ways.  The one that sort of left me reeling was the idea that one of the six in any decade was selected with the expectation that that one would not walk away.  There is more here, however, then can be covered in one book and so I will have to wait to understand better the deeper motivations of characters I thought peripheral who were thrust into the spotlight towards the end of the book.
