Red Cells is set in the world of Punktown and stars recurring character Jeremy Stake. I've never read any previous Punktown works so was worried that I would be lost, but Jeffrey Thomas does a great job of setting the stage so that even the uninitiated can jump right in.Red Cells is a dystopian sci-fi story, a prison drama, a mystery, and a horror story.  There are so many elements at work here that the result could easily be muddled, but Red Cells hangs together despite all the disparate parts. For me the ending felt a little rushed but this didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.I am eager to read more Punktown stories. Mr. Thomas has done a great job of world building and the possibilities seem endless.
