When the Lion Feeds (Courtney publication, #1; Courtney chronological, #10)
by

This is one of Smith's older books and what a welcome relief it was to read a real beginning!
This one starts out telling a story of twins Sean and Garrick Courtney and allows the reader an opportunity to grow close to the characters before following them into action.
I am so worn out with books that start in the "heat of battle" with characters the reader hasn't had time to love or hate. I realize that's the unfortunate current formula to get an agent to request a manuscript, but I LOVE that "When the Lion Feeds" is above that.
If all older books are written in this style, then I'm going retro!
