The story is easy to follow along with and holds plenty of curiosity on what’s happening next without crossing the cheesy line of leaving too many obvious “read more” cliffhanger carrots dangling. I can’t say much about the plot safely, fearing to accidentally give too much away, but I can say it is a slow, delicate revealing of a bigger picture.
Richard Finney holds a knack for creating convincing, likeable characters without having to put a lot of excess wording in or use explained back history to do it. Of course Black Mariah stands as the most intriguing of the characters. Even if there is a surprising revelation about him at the end, he stands embraced in mystery most of the time. He gets less page time than one would expect, but this makes him more interesting when does appear.
The focus is on another strange man who has something wrong with him. (What it is exactly also remains a bit of a mystery, one I’d love to solve in the next novel.) The cliffhanger on that side story certainly intrigued. I enjoyed the humor of two other mains, Chris and Jeri, and the author purposely keeps the reader in the dark on their exact intent until the perfect timing.
Overall a clean, quick read that holds interest from the beginning, leaves a dusting of questions making you want more when it’s over and done with, but not so much that you’re left feeling frustrated. There’s plenty left to be learned regarding the characters, many questions raised, and all the mains personalities endeared them to me. Recommended for everyone to give a try, whether you’re a strong sci-fi fan or a mild one (like me.)
