Light Out

Rating:
Summary: THRILLING
Review: The plot and sub plots are extraordinary and the characterisation is astute and consistent thoughout. The opening few pages are extremely well written and deceptively gentle, and set a rural landscape where Rick's and Jon's farming family background are deftly drawn. By shocking contrast to their way of life, parents and siblings almost immediately find themselves and their lifestyle under extreme threat from outside forces. The secret services, the United Nations, Mafiosi gangsters and religious terrorists all become woven into a really complex saga of intrigue, bloody shootouts, steaming love affairs, international espionage and a chase across America. Much of the action takes place in Chicago and Colorado, which are themselves superbly portrayed. The principle characters are colourful and attractive. There are sexy liaisons, there's humour and thrills aplenty: in fact, everything the intelligent searcher for adventure could wish for. This is one of the best reads I've had for years. Full marks to the publishers for finding such a fine and original author.
