When I first started reading RK Sidler's latest work, "Unearthly Power," I was pleasantly surprised. Here was a book that I could get me teeth into and enjoy very quickly. Right from the start, Sidler's talent is obvious as the author set scenes, built characters and characterizations and built not only a front story but a back story, all in the first couple of chapters. If it was that good to that point, I thought, it must get better and it is true, "Unearthly Power," went from better to best on my list.There are so many good points about the author's stylistic talent that I would just be using paragraph after paragraph describing how good this book is.The subject matter isn't new. It's really like the Harrison Ford's movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and others describing the hunt for the Ark of the Covenant and the powers it gives the possessor. It's just that Sidler throws in a curveball or two -- I'll let you find where they are as they are not hard to miss; if you read the book. If not, and rely on the ad notes or author's note page, you'll never find them. The result is you will just have to read this book from cover to cover as I'm not going to list them either.This is a well-crafted gem that not only wrings you out emotionally -- what can you say, I like good love stories, too and this one has one whose ending you just don't expect, so it keeps you reading, long after the rest of your family has turned out the lights and gone to bed.If you are looking for a great read, you have to put "Unearthly Power" on your "to-be-transfixed-by" calendar because once you start it you won't be able to put it down until you get to the ending.
