I like Aric Davis' writing style. It's edgy, seat-of-your-pants writing that keeps you turning the pages. The book is brutal but not gory. The characters are well developed and even when you don't see their "outside" lives (e.g. how they show Van Endel and Nelson) you get a full sense of who they are through their actions. Ken Richmond is brilliant as a bad guy....until the end. I was disappointed with how the story ended. I don't think it rang true with the remaining book but do agree you could see the break down of Ken's thought processes.Davis is a talented writer and story teller. He develops the entire world, not just the characters and plot. The setting is rich and a natural extension of the narrative.
