A review by John Enzinas
This and other aspects of his writing style made the book read very much like the novelization of a TV show pilot: The
sets were all lovingly described down to the position of the never-used Laser Printers, The characters were from central
casting including The Conspiracy Nut, The Engineer, The Entrepreneur and The Troubled Young Woman (and those were the
protagonists), the majority of the book was spent getting the characters into position for their roles in the continuing
drama, and it even ends on a cliffhanger setting up a secret war (for the series).
The subtitle "A Conspiracy Tale" is very accurate as the main character of the book ends up being the conspiracy itself
as it's the only one that seems to live and evolve as the story progresses.
Perhaps for the next novel instead of self publishing, Mr. Collier will allow an editor to criticize his work.
John Enzinas reads frequently and passionately. In his spare time he plays with swords. |
