Unputdownable (Real word)
This is not my normal style of book, usually going for mainstream horror writers such as Stephen King and Richard Laymon. After recently reading and thoroughly enjoying Hood and Scarlet from Stephen Lawhead, I decided to try something different again. This book caught my eye as part of the Cosmic 5 for this year, and I decided to find an extract to see if it would be readable. After reading chapter one from www.redwolfconspiracy.com, I rushed out to get my own copy, which I then read from cover to cover without much of a break in between. Most of the chapters were short (which I like as I don''t often have time to read more than one or two at a time), but each was packed with action and adventure, often taking the plot somewhere I wasn''t expecting. Pazel Pathkendle is a great character easy to sympathise with I wanted to know what he was going to do next every time he appeared. The Ixchel (a race of tiny people) were a surprise addition to the story - the blurb did not mention these and yet they are quite a major part of the plot.
I would recommend this book to anybody, fan of this genre or not. It is well written, and I am looking forward to the release of book two of this trilogy.
