The Border (Don Winslow)

Looks like an interesting series. Thanks baw

Never heard of this trilogy but thanks to this thread, I think I'll order the first one on Amazon here shortly. I've been looking for something to read.

That will be a hard pass for me then. I read to get away from the political noise.

He’s definitely showing his political leanings in this book

That's interesting. I just finished Power of the Dog and I'm about a third through The Cartel. Didn't know what to expect and love it so far.

The tone of the first book seemed critical of the government but it syncs up with the way I understand things to have been. It didn't seem political to me, or at least such a minor part of the story that I didn't notice it.

I thought it was interesting how much of the story mirrored either actual events or commonly understood interpretations of events (many of the killings in the cartels and mafias, Red Mist, ect...). Any non-spoiler hints on what is overly political in the last book? I'll probably still read it regardless because of how good the story is so far.

It was a lazy, cartoonish, orange-man-bad rant.

Extremely disappointing to hear.
