The third Company book finds us back with the protagonist of book one, the botanist Mendoza, in 1860s California. One of her colleagues is a film buff, so there is a lot of interesting Hollywood history discussed (though I could have done without the lengthy chapter describing DW Griffith's Intolerance). Like with the first one, we know things are going to go wrong, but things don’t get intense till towards the end. Poor Mendoza. I like that we get more on Company history here, and I also really liked the young ornithologist character. This one has a rough ending but I am eager to keep reading! A-.
