Mob and Zagori is a very unique book for several reasons besides its ambitious, wide ranging science fiction basis.
In addition, the book is written in such a way that the entire story is told as one stream of thought where the reader is allowed by the author to piece together the main story lines and characters. Although chapters and paragraphs are utilized, this is basically in order for the reader to maintain some sense of where they are as the stories progress. It could just as easily been written with no paragraphs or chapters.
This quality of the book makes for very unusual reading and adds a great deal of drama and pathos. As the reader unravels, like peeling of an onion, the inner workings of the characters as they play out their roles, they experience a highly unusual science fiction fantasy which is fused with undercurrents of love, friendship, betrayal and family.
