    I picked this up at Half Price Books because I remembered always being intrigued by the box art as a kid.

    It starts with some fun action, but is mostly uneven throughout. It does have a ton of heart, but isn't that deep and basically boils down to we're not all that different once you get to know someone.

    The Trial

    ★★★★

    Oh, I hate how the enmity of the state towards individuals is such a timeless tale. We like to think we understand the world and its machinations, but when they are driven by men whose hearts we cannot truly know we are babes in a wood.
