"Carved in Memory" is a short story prequel to the author's recently published novel Arctic Wargame. The story serves to introduce Justin Hall, one of the primary characters in Arctic Wargame. Brief references are also made to two other characters: Carrie, Justin's partner in the Canadian Intelligence Service; and Abdul, Justin's local connection with the Libyan government.The story is short - only 325 Kindle locations - but it begins and ends with a bang, as Justin, who's being tortured by his terrorist captors, is forced to use all his wits in a desperate attempt to escape from the dungeon where he's being held.I enjoyed the story, which succeeded in piquing my interest in Arctic Wargame. It's a fast-paced, suspenseful cliffhanger, written in a crisp, no-wasted-words style.
