This, the 3rd book in the Roman Solaire series, was another fun adventure! These books are short easy to read books filled with action. When you read all of them you slowly learn more and more tidbits about the main characters and you fall in love with them. Being men and in the kind of work they are in, they're never gushing with emotional details about themselves, and to be honest, I doubt I’d like them as much if they did. They have jobs to do...jobs that come very close to killing them way too often, so sharing personal info isn't high on their to do list! Getting the job done and done right is!
This particular story stuck me as great timing as far as government, or private sector, having and keeping information on the general public! Scary possibilities out there!!
Once again though Roman, and his awesome sidekick Levack, get in, seemingly, over their heads and Roman almost pays the ultimate price!!
Once again I'd love to, at some point, see a novel size book to really sink my teeth into...but until then these are some wonderful and exciting short stories to lose yourself in for a bit!!

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Roman Solaire and the Paradise Gallery in a Librarything Giveaway.
Much as I sincerely enjoy the Roman Solaire stories themselves, the way in which they are written is starting to annoy me. The sentences are too short and simplistic, and make it feel as though the writing, and as a product of this - the story, doesn't develop in the way it should. It almost feels as though the story is the skeleton of a novel that needs to be fleshed out with more words, devices and complexities. Mistakes like 'ran passed' instead of 'ran past' are also irksome, and a lot of my issues with these novels could be ironed out so easily with a decent editor.
That said, I would, if given the chance, read more of Mr Solaire and his adventures, but I certainly wouldn't be paying good money to do so. I'd recommend these to anyone who likes a short, sharp, simple story that they can enjoy for an hour or so, but not to those who require literary greatness to enjoy a book.

I was given this book, in exchange for an honest review, from the author.
This is a short novella that has a good storyline, it just lacks depth. The writing was short and choppy with grammatical errors and the storyline is underdeveloped. The author gives just enough detail to paint a picture of the scene, but you never find yourself lost in the book or even endeared to the characters.
