Mr. Voltage, is it you? The story begins with Bentley Frazier witnessing an electrical related incident. From there it turns into a cat and mouse story of suspense as Bentley must protect his brother, girlfriend and friends from an unseen menace that goes by the moniker, Mr. Voltage. The author tells the story at a brisk pace, cutting to the chase and not using a lot of filler words. Personally, I would have liked a little more dialogue between the characters versus just saying that conversations were had but that is definitely a personal preference and not a criticism on how well the story was written and paced. If you're looking for a brisk thriller to take you away for a few hours, then High Voltage is something you should pick up and read. Great job by the author.

I love this author the quick easy read, this is the 3rd book I have read of the short stories. They are griping and move at a steady space. However feel like they are more for YA. This one had a small twist but with such few characters you can easily figure out who is the criminal. I have five more to go….we shall see

A good entry in the Killer Tech series

Gibson is very good at creating likable characters and then putting them in the path of a diabolical villain. A fast read with plenty of mystery and suspense.
