LAPD Detective Jace Bradley is having nightmares. After his father dies of a burst appendix Jace has nightmares of a strange creature clawing through his side. He goes to see his psychiatrist who feels it’s just from the trauma of losing his father. While leaving Jace collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Where he awakens with a strange creature that has escaped from his side bent on destruction has his doctor cornered. Only when our trio escapes with their lives to the outdoors they realize they are in a world that is no longer their own…All I can say is WOW as this was nothing like I expected. Sci-fi yes but it is so much more. Add in a mix of pulp fiction, suspense and mystery and you have a remarkable page-turner that I couldn’t put down. Beckwith has a captivating way with words that creates powerful plot twists and outstanding characters that causes his readers to become lost and wrapped up in as we read and wonder is Jace still having nightmares or is he living a real nightmare. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I must read more. I’m not sure what to call this genre but possibly sci-fi pulp with a twist. Powerful, exciting more than a typical sci-fi and yes I highly recommend.
