A very strong addition to the series. More humorous dialogue, cliffhangers, suspense misdirection, real world events mixed in with the plot. Interesting to see the series' thinly-veiled Boris Johnson character now subtly split off from his inspiration, thus we enter the realms of alternate history. Looking forward to the next one.
