   In The Lion's Mouth. Michael Flynn.   
      
   This is the third in the Spiral Arm series and it wasn't as enthralling   
   for me as the first two were. The first two books dealt with GREAT   
   EVENTS as well as being brilliantly written, if sometimes in riddles,   
   but the plot in book three was a retelling of Homer's Iliad paling in   
   comparison to its predecessors with the same characters and settings,   
   thankfully, but with mystery and intrigue partly replaced by action and   
   the brief appearance of the supernatural.   
   But still an enjoyable read. Three stars. Though perhaps my expectations   
   from Flynn are now too high? I will read something non SF before I   
   finish this series with book four, On The Razor's Edge.
