TASK FORCE E: THE MUSEUM
Multi-billionaire Jacob Stone has spent much of his fortune creating New Eden, a preserve in the Alaskan wilderness for creatures out of legend and the wildest reaches of scientific speculation. Creatures that shouldn’t exist; monsters caught between human and animal shape; unimagined beasts that stalk, swim and fly through a world where legend and science are one. Sasquatch. Dogmen. Lake Wyrm. Cryptids.
Now Stone has recruited the four remaining members of Task Force E, a renegade paramilitary group exposed to and transformed by a bizarre paranormal phenomenon, one that has left them with a strange sensitivity to--and affinity for—cryptids. Stone hopes to use their abilities for his own gains. The Task Force E is more interested in his larger ambitions. Stone wants to break down the barriers that separate the cryptids’ world from our own, and if it means destroying our world, so be it.
The Task Force—Smithy, Brick, Jingo and Wizard—aren’t interested in letting him do that. And they’ll do anything in the scope of their strange abilities to stop him.

How to make cryptids boring
I'm honestly not sure what I just read. It seems like the author wrote a book about cryptids, took out a bunch of the backstory and explanations, cut the book into presumably three parts, and is releasing them separately. Book 1 was interesting but cut off too soon. Book 2 picks up right away, but there's so many monsters that aren't explained, as well as backstories for the main cast that are hinted at but never explained. For a book that only takes an hour and a half to read, I was bored out of my mind. There's so many missing pieces it's hard to tell what's going on and why you should care. This author desperately needs a proof reader or an editor. Splitting this story up into parts was a horrible idea. I can't be bothered to see if there's a third book.

I’ve read both the task force E books. Not sure how this tiny book took so long to read. It’s an example of how to stretch out a single story across multiple instalments. I won’t be buying the next one. I just don’t care how the hero’s survive and win.
Their supernatural powers are still never explained, their pasts only hinted at. The entire thing is paper thin and feels like the author doesn’t know where he’s going with the story.
I’m really quite disappointed.

1/2 Book for the price of two.
The books of this series are not bad, but the first two books are basically only 1/2 of a regular full length novel. Both in the story and in pages. Don’t waste your money.

POS
Anyone familiar with the military jargon (snafu, fubar, etc) will instantly know how disappointed I was with this book. A bigger waste of 4.95 is tough to imagine. Avoid it, and any sequels, at all costs
