Yes, I knew this was a short story. Yes, I knew it was the lead-in for a series. No, I did not get my money's worth. Broken Highway is supposed to set up the first novel in Brian Springer's presumptive series about the same character. I don't know what his full-length novel is like, and judging by the quality of writing(or lack thereof) in this short, I'm not likely to bother finding out.As another reviewer said, there is no story here. It's simply one over-sexed bar scene after another, interspersed with meaningless fight scenes. If I had to sum up the essence of Broken Highway(badly broken, I might add), it would best be compared to watching a montage of John Wayne fight scenes. Repetitive and missing all context. My apologies to Mr. Springer, but it does nothing to make me want to read further.
