There are a total of 40 Oz books considered to be "canon."
L.Frank Baum wrote the first 14 of them.

This author is talented enough to keep a reader on the edge of their seats, teetering between "tension and suspense" throughout. The characters seem real, and in the back of your head, you begin to wonder: who is really conning whom? You're completely drawn in, and you come out feeling your heart beating faster. Take a chance, you won't be sorry!
A predictable but well-detailed story. Not necessarily a "gripping page-turner," but not entirely bad either.
Something light that one might read before going to bed.
Oddly enough, I work in a similar capacity to the main character, so I found myself identifying with much of his "techno-speak."
