The Fire Seekers by Richard Farr (The Babel Trilogy, Book 1). 256 pages. The first thing I have to say is that Richard Farr is a better writer than I am, or probably will ever be. I can aspire to putting a book together like this, and I guess that will be sufficient. The Fire … More Review: “The Fire Seekers” by Richard Farr
