- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.0
I wanted to like this book, I really did. But the 2 stars are entirely due to Doyle's excellence at the craft of writing, as the story and characters have absolutely no merit on their own. This book is Doyle trying to be Burroughs and failing.

Graphic: Racial slurs and Racism
Moderate: Colonisation
There is a lot of casual and incessant racist language and ideology from the character of Challenger in particular, but also much of the "standard" terminology when speaking of any non-white people in 1912 England is now recognized as slurs so the second quarter in particular is absolutely chock full of it everywhere.rmdougherty's review against another edition
