Review: The Machine!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I have read all three of Keith's books and enjoyed them all. The main character in this story is Ballard who lives in this world called The Machine. Where everything is provider for them, food, shelter and etc. Outside The Machine is a dead world with Maelstrom, with a constant overcast of grey clouds and storms. Just outside this world(The Machine)is this huge what seems endless hole. This is called Marrow's Pit, this is where everything unwanted is disposed of. This story is about Ballard's life and what happens to him after a tragic event. This is a very good quick read, I read it in one day. This read more SF than horror. The story itself was good, but what did it for me was the ending. I'm looking forward to reading Keith's new book, Ghosts of Eden in November. I gave Marrow's Pit 4 stars
