Ciaphas Cain: Choose Your Enemies: Choose Your Enemies (Volume 10)

Product Information

It's irritating as it seems as if the story was written with a larger page count in mind, and was then forced to wrap things up all too quickly. Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure.

Anyway, Cain is cynical and sardonic, ready to dispense quips at anyone's expense (including his own), and the footnotes (written in-universe by his love interest Amberley Vail) take all the potshots at Cain's expense he doesn't take, and anyone else's besides.There is a more consistent effort to balance this against the major narrative, while the time-skips needed to work around story moments are far better placed. given that I picked this book up and read it all within the space of a day, I can safely say Cain has not lost his touch!

While one or two excellent ones - especially just as Cain discovers just what the enemy's plan is - which work in its favour, there are far fewer here to compliment the overall humour. The 9 Step Negativity Detox is a powerful series that will teach you the nine simple steps to free you from the unnecessary causes of negativity in your life. A much-used word, karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions.While hardly the worst example put onto paper, the efforts to reflect Cain's less formulaic style often interferes with the finer parts of pacing a book.

Imagine having three life-coaches who had been through the toughest mental and physical challenges; a crack team of problem-solvers who knew in their day job that one mistake could be the difference between life - and death. the footnotes are inserted as appropriate, with Vale’s interruptions, additional thoughts, and scathing remarks cutting through Cain’s self-indulgent prose to hilarious effect. The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning.Disclaimer, I didn't realize that this book was a part of a whole series about Ciaphas Cain (which I am now looking into reading). The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events. In The Coldest Case: A Black Book Audio Drama, homicide detective Billy Harney sends his new partner, Kate, deep undercover in a notorious Chicago drug ring.
