This was an interesting read. I think after reading The Cold Pools I was expecting something similar so I was a little disappointed.However, that is not to say that this isn’t a good read. Carl is a boy who finds another kid, Simon, lying near the train tracks by his home. This is unusual because London and all the cities are closed off from the small country side called the Greater Forest Area. The cities are said to be dangerous and all contact with them is looked down upon. Carl overhears his father speaking on the phone to someone and fears for Simon’s life. He learns about Simon’s girlfriend, Jess, who also fell from the train and he goes out looking for her.I enjoyed this read and it did its job of spiking my interest in the first of the Tube Riders series and the author explains at the end that this was one of the “sketches” for the series.I gave this short story 3 stars because it was a great introduction into the world of The Tube Riders but there was something missing for me.The first book in the Tube Riders series is now free for download on Amazon.
