Read this book at the Wu Wei Si Monastery near Dali in China. It's a view on how Pureland Buddhism believes that destiny only controls us if we don't work to change it. We are bound by our kharma unless we accumulate merit through good deeds enabling us to alter the destiny we were born with.

It was a long train ride from Beijing to Yunnan province, and this book, along with it's prequel, kept me entertained for much of the trip.
The Superintendant is murdered in her hospital bed as the Russians attempt to eliminate Brigedier Ferguson's entire unofficial force. Sean is particularily hard hit by Hannah's death, and seems to be loosing a bit of his taste for the game. Billy Salter (mobster) is promoted onto the team, his criminal slate wiped clean.

Sean Dillon is back again. I actually forget what this one was about. Guess I'll have to read it again. That's okay, because the book situation in China is awful. No second hand bookstores, and when you can find a hotel with a few books to trade, they are more expensive used than they are new.

I read Valley of the Horses, and The Mamoth Hunters when I was in high school. This one was on the shelf at The Bookworm English lending library here in Beijing, so I thought, hey, I wonder how things turned out.
Well, Jondolar finally arrived back home after his 5 year journey, Ayal, two horses and a wolf safely in tow.
