Since this is a short prequel book all I'm going to do is leave a few sentences on HOW GOOD IT IS!!
Basically it just describes a day in the life of Dutch McGuire - a badass racer with an attitude problem, and how she gets out of an extremely dangerous situation with a drug lord
Amazing intro the the Devil's Road, gives a bit of a background for a few things and introduces part of the world. Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoy fantasy, Sci-Fi or action books

I got this short story because although I like Gary Gibson's books, I wasn't sure if Devil's Road would be my thing, but now having read Our Lady of Holy Death, I really want to explore this world of racing and Kaijus! It's definitely going to be my next book purchase and even after this short narrative, I already really like the MC, Dutch.
