This is only the second book I've read by this author, however his books I intend, if possible to continue reading ...and reading ...and reading. The last was a full 5 ***** catagory reader, and this one, I would even give higher marks, were it allowed. Amazingly gifted author is a natural storyteller. YOU are missing out if you haven't read a John W. Cassell novel. What lies within? A rapid read (forget the page numbers), a mystery or two and clever ones, a little romance on the side, a decent amount of action, and one loves the characters. TERRIFIC WRITING SKILL. I most probably am going to read his "CrossRoads" next, as I have it here right beside my keyboard. Well done. One of those novels you close upon completing and say "What a book! What a novel!"

John Cassell is his own hero and what a hero he is!! This action thriller will keep you turning the pages. The good don't always survive in this doomsday saga but all the characters make a memorable contribution to brotherhood. I think this is sort of a guy's book with some rough language and dialect but these rough characters are authentic.
I think this is a very creative novel. The Kindle edition has many typos and needs to be cleaned up to be fair to this genious author.
