first book in a trilogy submitted by camelsamba on June 24, 2014, 7:39pm This book is the first of an eventual trilogy. All of them stand alone to a certain extent. The character development is a bit weak in this story, but everybody (especially Moose) develops as the trilogy progresses. I did feel that this story was a bit flat compared to the others, but it is still good.
