4.0
Great action-packed conclusion to the Puppetman trilogy, and one of the strongest books in the Wild Cards series as a whole. This is primarily due to the POV characters we get, who are some of the most interesting in the whole series. The only flaw in this one, I think, is that the main source of conflict for many of the characters (Tachyon and Braun in particular) is that they haven't yet figured out that (which, of course, readers have known since Wild Cards #1); instead of being all that interesting, this dramatic irony makes their actions seem a little pointless and frustrating albeit still entertaining.
