Experience the ravaged memories of those who have met them in War.
Faction Paradox: The Book of the Enemy Reviews
-
Complex, provocative, insightful, enthralling, disturbing, and even more superlatives. This collection of assorted tales, explores the idea of the Enemy, that greatly mysterious and most known of unknowns in Faction lore. By not facing head on the nature, disposition and ideologies of the Enemy this collection somehow serves to mythologize to a certain extent, making them more a concept than a tangible target for the Great Houses. Perhaps what this book is trying to say is that we don't need to know who and what the Enemy are, only that they exist. We've been told on more than one occasion that the Enemy isn't even the most important aspect of the Spiral Politic (or what remains of it after (REDACTED) has taken a couple of (REDACTED) out of it). If the Enemy isn't the main antagonistic grouping why are they still so popular? Maybe the enigma of their existence has afforded them a large enough mass in the franchise that they can simply be name checked to add extra credibility to event? After all it's not the white-hat hero who wins is it, it's the coolest character, and he may not even own a hat. One thing for certain though, I do like to reread certain books that are always enjoyable every time you read it, and I feel this one is one of those books...

Apparently the real enemy was commas and copy-editing all along... :P
Anyway, if you ignore the typos, this book's fantastic. -
I love it.
