To fully appreciate this read, you need to think of it more like a TV series than a book. You need to understand that it's the first installment (or "season") of a new franchise, so not all of your questions will get answered by the end. You need to be comfortable with the fact that there is still much to be learned, and that this offering serves as an introduction to the Grendel Unit universe of characters. In short, you'll need to have patience and allow the story to unfold over time.Now, with that said, this intro to Grendel Unit is fantastic, and easily worth the .99 cent asking price. Author Bernard Schaffer is a wiz when it comes to crafting dialogue, and the character banter here is right on par with his other work. You might be able to consume this short read in one sitting, but there is so much enjoyable content to absorb that it merits a second read.I see great potential here, and as a fan of this author, I am very excited to see where the story goes from here. Bring it on!
