Comments
This book reflects how an author of
his first book goes about writing his book,where the source is primarily
based on fiction, and the standards of the book compared to with that of
an experienced writer. He writes with ease, allowing himself to express
in black and white whatever idea he had on his mind, applying every skill
he had acquired during his hobby, as many names of weaponry appeared throughout
the story.
