I've been waiting impatiently for this book to come out, finished it in one sitting and am bitterly disappointed. Each of the first two books were excellent, ones that I've kept to re-read. Good characterization and interesting characters, interesting plotlines, good action sequences. Each book had it's own main character, but the initial core group of characters remained. with a complete story to each book, beginning, middle, end.

The writing and storyline in this third book remains excellent, as does the characterization. Unfortunately the author has apparently decided to serialize this series with no warning and there is no ending of even a minor plotline, with a major overall story continuing on to a new book, an abrupt, middle of a battle cliffhanger ending. My personal opinion is that any serialized book should carry a notation to that effect, not be unleashed on an unsuspecting reader.

This author knows how to write!

This is Book 3 of this series, however, while it is all a series, Books 3-5 are an exciting and unique continuing story of an attack on the "Rez", when they and millions of others are in the dark. See review of Book 5 for a more comprehensive review.

Glad it came out

For some reason I've come to really look forward to these stories. I feel as though I've become invested in the characters, which is a compliment to the author. I have only 2 complaints.......one...... the editing still really needs a closer eye...... and two.... for the next one to come out sooner rather than later :-)

On the edge of my seat!

The story of Cold River continues in this intense tale of survival. All of your favorite characters are back for a riveting story that you can't put down! I can't wait for the next segment in the Cold River saga.
