I think it was a heck of a story, but I may be just a tidbit biased. There are currently 9 reviews at Amazon.com. 7 Of these are 5 star reviews, and 2 are 4 star reviews. There are some small editing errors which where not found, but will be removed in the second printing. This story can not be purchased anywhere but Amazon.com, and through Hastings at Wichita Falls, Texas. Or through myself.
Here is an overview of this story...
"This story seemingly starts off simple enough, with the daily struggle of life and death for one of earths oldest inhabitants, who are suffering the effects of an extreme drought. Choices are made which have unintended consequences, leaving their future uncertain. In a tragic twist of fate, a member of their group is severely wounded in the head by an arrant bullet, and left unable to control his emotions. In his confusion and rage, this eight foot Titan embarks on a killing spree while hunting the man that wounded him. He too becomes the hunted, by both his own kind, and several elements of state and federal law enforcement agencies. As this hunt intensifies, one of the oldest governmental cover-ups becomes unearthed, revealing a different kind of hero; one who must first fight for his own life, before he is able to fight for the lives of others. This story is a roller-coaster of action, suspense, intrigue and tragedy, that will have you turning page after page to find out what happens next in this spellbinding literary jaunt."

This book gets three stars for a couple of reasons: it's not my favorite genre so it was hard for me to get through it and it has a lot of graphic violence which is hard for me to read. When I open a book, I really get into the story. I often found myself clenching my teeth or wincing (which should be awesome for some folks) and I often times wanted to throw the book at the wall in frustration. LOL The characters are well-fleshed out and fairly easy to identify with. I like that there is variety among the characters, too. The basic plot is interesting, as well. People who enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, myths & legends, and action will really enjoy this book, I think. It looks like there might be a sequel. If there /is/ a sequel, I will read it because I simply must know what happens next! Having said all this, don't take my word for it. Give it a try!
