Review: It ends too abruptly

This is a sci-fi short story about two men who enter a high tech and illegal race desperate for the money. This is set against the back-drop of a war between two great factions.For me the big problem was the length, I love short stories, but this is a short story forming a serial, which is fine, but you don't get any closure for this story, you have to read the next. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against seriels, but each part should have a self contained story. In this case everything is focused on the race and for the story to just stop as the race gets going is a bit off putting.Which is a shame because I was really enjoying it up until that point. The story is fun, it's well written in a relaxed style that makes it a joy to read. It offers interesting flashes of the wiser world, a world I would be happy to learn more about.A mixed bag, worth reading, but prepared to have to buy the next short and the next. Or maybe wait until they are all collated into a single collection.
