Review: I was immediately drawn to the main character and empathetic towards her.

This is second piece of work that I have read my Jason Halstead and I was blown away. This is a complete stand alone story. While will be easy to continue with the protagonist, the story stands on it own feet very well. It is set in Mr. Halstead's Dark Earth universe but I felt that was almost unnecessary except in one portion of the story. Could easily have been a stand alone with just a little background to explain the Dark Earth aspect and you wouldn't need to know anything about the Dark Earth series to read this and enjoy it thoroughly. Fantastic protagonist. Immediate peril is always a good hook. This was no exception. I was immediately drawn to the main character and empathetic towards her. That carried on throughout the story. In my opinion, Mr. Halstead needs to give some serious thought as to employing a top level marketing team and getting himself launched into the mainstream. These books would sell and sell well if marketed appropriately. I can even envision movie, or in the case of the Dark Earth series and its off shoots in particular, a television series on SyFy.
