Book Log 2009 #19: The Scourge of God by S. M Stirling

The expedition to Nantucket continues on its way, still fighting the Church Universal and Triumphant, who is trying to prevent them from getting there. They make some new friends when they enter Sioux territory, but face new challenges when they get to Iowa, whose "Bossman" requires an old job to be completed before the group can move along.

Back in Oregon, the CUT is becoming more influential, forcing the member communities of The Meeting to take action.

I found this entry in the Change series much like the others, broadly speaking, in that I would have prefered more time with the characters from the original books and found the mystical mumbo jumbo a little much. I'm also wishing this group was making a little more progress, as at this rate it seems like it'll take them a dozen books to get to Nantucket. Still, it was no less entertaining than previous books in the series.
