Review: An Uncomfortable Read
Rating: 2 out of 5

I bought this Kindle book, after enjoying the first Jacob Hull book, Wolfhound, but it has been an extremely "uncomfortable" read. By that, I mean there is no joy or enjoyment by the main character in this story. He is paranoid about everything and everyone, and one of the characters he regularly interacts with, Commander AlShira, is angry, disrespectful and even insubordinate at every single contact. What makes this curious, is that there is a hint of a romantic involvement between them, but every contact, she is described as angry, furious, fist clenching, etc. and one has to wonder why he even bothers to speak to her. All during the book, he keeps seeing the worst possible outcome of every interpersonal contact and displays virtually no people skills whatsoever.My advice to the author is to lighten up and have some fun. This book was not enjoyable to read, and left me very uncomfortable.
