Waypoint

Basker is a retired soldier who has taken up handyman jobs in an effort to escape his violent past.

I am really enjoying the characters. The author has threads of these characters...providing information on each. Have to be on your toes, because he jumps to each of them: giving them time to develope. I sometimes find I am engrossed in one and then it's time to bring back another and let them progress for a while. There are some great lines and imagery. Can't wait for more when he begins weaving these characters together.
