In this case, it's a mixture of old characters and new, and the issue is how they survive each other more than how they survive the various traps and hazards in the dungeon. The result is some excellent drama and quite a few twists as a lot of hats are left on the ground.At this point, I've given up on getting the physical books. My local library is still trying to get the third book in print for me, and while I like the bits of the Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret novella, I don't think it's worth the wait. So as much as I prefer print to digital, it's ebooks from here on out as far as this series goes. I can live with that, especially if the books maintain this particular level of quality to them. Here's hoping that this one represents Dinniman finding his groove and not a happy accident.</blockquote>
