About the author

Aka Geoffrey Caine, Glenn Hale, Evan Kingsbury, Stephen Robertson

Master of suspense and bone-chilling terror, Robert W. Walker, BS and MS in English Education, Northwestern University, has penned 44 novels and has taught language and writing for over 25 years. Showing no signs of slowing down, he is currently juggling not one but three new series ideas, and has completed a film script and a TV treatment. Having grown up in Chicago and having been born in the shadow of the Shiloh battlefield, near Corinth, Mississippi, Walker has two writing traditions to uphold--the Windy City one and the Southern one--all of which makes him uniquely suited to write City for Ransom and its sequels, Shadows in White City and City of the Absent. His Dead On will be published in July 2009. Walker is currently working on a new romantic-suspense-historical-mainstream novel, titled Children of Salem. In 2003 and 2004 Walker saw an unprecedented seven novels released on the "unsuspecting public," as he puts it. Final Edge, Grave Instinct, and Absolute Instinct were published in 2004. City of the Absent debuted in 2008 from Avon. Walker lives in Charleston, West Virginia.

Reviews

[Josh · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mayhem and madness on the astral plane as psi scientist Jacob Koslor enters the realm of the neverless to catch the person responsible for his brutal dismemberment.

Ghostly or ghastly? This novel is more of the later as the author tries but fails to instill a sense of realism into what is nothing but a D-grade horror.

Gore abounds but the heavy handed scientific approach rules the roost, dispelling any notion that this book could be anything but an average 80's paperback horror.

There is solid story lurking beyond the realms of realism here but it never manifests.

My rating: 2.5/5. The cover is the best thing about the book, misleading as it may be.

A fun read in the horror thriller category. Two psi scientists are murdered by an ex-cop who is possessed by a dark force. One is then stranded on the astral plane. His friend and fellow scientist, who is also a psychic goes on the search to find the force responsible for the killings. A frustrated good cop assigned to the case has a hard time accepting the fantastical implications. I give it 3 stars. Very entertaining, but still needs some proof reading and editing to smooth some transitions. I got this on Kindle.
