Well, it's been sitting in my itouch for untold months unread. Today I ran out of books to read and figured, why not? To my (pleasant) surprise I read everything that has been written in this novel so far and want more! Sometimes the writing seems a bit curt, and the descriptions tend to use vocabulary that had me reaching for websters, but thats all a matter of opinion. I still couldn't put it down, very nicely done! I'll be checking back periodically for the final version, or if you need a proof reader (so I don't have to wait....) just let me know!

Really like this series. Always like to see other people write out of the norm and let their imagination run. Please write more.

I gave up after the first two parts, so this review only applies to Part 1 and Part 2.
I had three main problems with this work.
(1) The writing style is pretentious. It has lots of unnecessarily long words, lots of words that are just unnecessary, and unusual phrasing. The typos and wrong word choices made reading this even more painful.
(2) The protagonist seems to be almost completely uninvolved in what's going on around him. He tells the story more as an observer than a participant. He also tells it in a distant, unemotional, flat manner that is at odds with the first-person point of view. A related problem is that most of the time the protagonist is 'just along for the ride', not even trying to do anything to take control of the situation. The man is dull and lifeless.
(3) I don't know about the later parts, but the resolution of the first two parts were pure deus ex machina. Storytelling can't get much more lame than that.
Again, I didn't go past the first two parts. Maybe it gets better later on.

I've always been a fan of the pulp adventure style of books, though preferably those with a fantasy or sci-fi bent. I downloaded a free copy of part one of this serial adventure, and within minutes I was hooked, and had to have the compilation.
The series carries the spirit of such favorites as Wylie's "Gladiator", the "Doc Savage"stories, and Burrough's Barsoom novels, told with a modern and talented voice.
The main character is good-hearted, practical, and more believable than the average superman, and the cliffhanger endings to each chapter left me panting for more.
