So I really wanted to like this book, but the characters were morons. I expected Oxford educated historians to show some semblance of intelligence, particularly on the subject they are studying, but instead they are inept children wandering around lost. They cannot deal with the smallest obstacles, let alone the larger issues to face. This book is not a stand alone, so you have to read many others in order to obtain ANY kind of resolution at all. I hope that All Clear ends with them all getting blown up.
