" I was somewhat disappointed with this, the follow-up to The Red Wolf Conspiracy. I wasn't riveted to the story line, as I was to The Red Wolf Conspiracy. The Rats and the Ruling Sea had it's moments, but I read more than one book at a time, and there were other books that kept pulling me away from this one. This is measuring stick I use to determine my level of interest in a novel. Because of the cliff-hanger at the end of this book, I am looking forward to reading the final book in the trilogy. I can already see its potential. Robert Redick is an incredible author, and his cast of characters are well-developed. "
