Very different from the author's action-packed Quinn Series, the Logan Harper Series or Project Eden Series, this book by Brett Battles also explores some emotional mysteries.I enjoyed reading  THE PULL OF GRAVITY.  It's the kind of book that explores love, loss and making one's self whole again in the form of a mystery. Beginning in the present and told through a series of flash backs, the story introduces life at the Phillipine's bars, the friendship of  Papa Jay, Isabel and Larry, and then the events that changed their worlds forever. With a combination of humor and intrigue, sadness and outrage, the story carried me through a range of emotions.  Told without judgment, the lives of bar girls seem explainable and perhaps inescapable for some. As the locals say: "You can take the girl out of the bar, but you can't take the bar out of the girl."  Although Papa Jay has escaped, is his escape complete?  Or will the link to the bar life be like the pull of gravity....  For originality, characterizations, intriguing setting and interesting plot, I give this book a strong five stars.If you like fast-action suspense books, you might also enjoyThe Cleaner,The DeceivedShadow of Betrayal: A Jonathan Quinn Novel (Jonathan Quinn Novels)The Silenced: A Novel,Little Girl Gone (A Logan Harper Thriller), andSick (A Project Eden Thriller).
