Paris Encore by Bodie Thoene, Brock Thoene

3.0

I was disappointed yet again as I alluded to in my review for book 7. The final three books of the series simply do not live up to the somewhat high standard set by the first six. This book is bogged down by too many unfamiliar characters and a lack of connection for those characters to the previous books in the series. Of the original main characters only John Murphy makes brief appearances throughout. Another detractor? The short length. This works against the authors in that everything, especially the love stories, are so rushed that they become almost unbelievable.
The prose itself is still really good, as is their historiography. Those are the only reasons that this book will remain on my shelf. (Well...those and the fact that I would have an incomplete series if I donated the book. :D)
