I was given this as a gift, but don't let the fact that it's only 99 cents throw you, it's a great gift! I read the description of the story, but it goes off in interesting directions. And to find out that there's a story before it in "Asia Unbound"? I hopped back on Smashwords and picked it up!
Best 99 cents you'll spend. What are you going to do, get some coffee (or a fraction of a coffee at that behemoth chain)? Get a whole thing instead of part of a thing here.

Review by: Mark Young on Feb. 27, 2012 :
The continuing story of Marcus from the story "Asia Unbound" and yet another example of the intrigues going on in tiny Poeticule Bay, Maine. Another great story with intensity and lots of twists and turns. I found myself saying, "I didn't see that coming" about three or four times.

Well written, great dialogue, rueful or damaged characters who say hilarious and terrifying things... you just can't lose with these stories. I look forward to the further adventures of "Legs Gabrielle" in the upcoming series of novels. This author is just warming up - we may have another Stephen King on our hands.
