Wow, this was a pleasant suprise. An anthology of three stories, each one uniquely brilliant in it's own way.

The Transaction- A highly decorated police chief interrogating the prime suspect of a murder and multiple serious assaults. Pacing, character development for such a short story, dialogue and action was amazing. And a twist i did not see coming!

Martyr- This is a well written story. I was able to follow through on the action sequences without getting confused and I usually have a hard time following fights in books.

The description on a post nuclear world was well written as an aftermath on how the world gets on without getting into the specifics of the nuclear war so a reader can use thier imagination to fill in the blanks.

I loved the journey of the characters and their motivation behind thier actions.

A very creative and action packed story with a dynamite ending that sets its ending wanting for more.

Sleepers-

I really liked this story. it did feel a bit short and left me wanting more. But I prefer wanting more than a overloaded plot that explains everything.

Suleiman character felt well fleshed out with all the development in his life. A man haunted by his past and trying to do good and keep out of harms way until his biological relations catches up to him.

Supporting characters were also very well fleshed out and developed but I can't say too much about them without spoiling the story.

I also did not see the twists and turns coming!

The story does feel its left open ended which is assuring. At its conclusion it does leave a reader asking a lot questions hoping they get answered in a sequel.
