I started off early on in the book thinking this was going the way of a decent 3 star read. There were some inconsistencies and occasional editing errors - and then I just gave in to "the ride".The monsters may not make a lot of sense but neither did Jurassic Park and I loved the original movie. Then there are bad guys and really bad guys and some you aren't sure about until the end of the book, but one thing for sure, they were all quite some characters. Some very likable and some you'll hate, but you won't lose track or forget them while reading this book.There is no real info about how an ancient race actually created such an elaborate machine, because that what the Plaza really is, a precise piece of equipment that still functioned after 600 years. Perhaps there will be a return or sequel to get more in depth, and maybe to discover more horrors or monsters, and one of the really bad guys apparently does survive.I found that I really started to enjoy this book when I stopped nit picking and soon got into the mode where I didn't want to stop reading - like what's coming next here. I guess when I realized this was a page turner my admiration for the author went up and so did my stars. I will be getting another one of his books tonight for my Kindle. His writing craft might not be perfect (but whose is any more)but that pales to his ability to wrap you up in the story.
