This is one of those stories where characters evolve before your eyes. Doc's marriage has fallen apart. He heads to Vegas where he loses big time at the casino. His predicament brings him to the attention of an elderly Chinese immigrant who made his money running a casino but with far grander schemes up his sleeve. He makes Doc a proposal and it is at this point I realise there is more to Doc than his circumstances suggest. I was hooked and devoured this book in one sitting breaking only to sleep.American Midnight reveals layer upon layer of intrigue. It is a devilishly clever plot full of technological computer know-how, political plotting and undercover intelligence operations. The story brings together several fascinating and damaged characters for the Damaged Posse Series and the concept behind Summerman is simply brilliant. I can't wait to read more about him and his posse. (I must mention the story portrays a very realistic IT implementation project right down to the release party - it was all too familiar.)I am giving this story 5 stars for an original plot that ties up loose ends and sets up a series I am very much looking forward to reading. The detailed characterization is excellent and this extends to all the characters, not just the main protagonists.  I highly recommend this story.I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
