Malila Of The Scorch: Book 3 of Old Men and Infidels by W Clark Boutwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the third book of the “Old men and infidels” series, Malila of the scorch picks up where the last book left off. The young countries are pitted against the old, and on both sides, people vie for supremacy. In the Unity, Malila Chiu was once a hero, but after she delivers a dire message to the remnants of what was once America, she is no longer very welcome. Jesse Johnstone loves Malila and vows to stay at her side, regardless of his feelings about the Scorch. Other characters are also in play along the board, General Jourdaine, spies William Butler, Hecate and Elise, all of whom have been in the previous books in some form all return and continue their individual fights.
A grand finale in the series, this book was a pleasure to read. Certainly, the previous book should be read in order to grasp the significance of certain events, but the story is still compelling and entertaining.
