Goodreads review by Quentin on July 15, 2015

I went into this unsure what to expect, but honestly there was no way I could have expected this anyway. It's hard to explain, but I'll try. At it's heart it's a horror story. The main character is "killed" in an avalanche, but after being frozen for three months, he comes back to life. Unfortunatel......more

Goodreads review by Gale on March 11, 2023

Very Different & imaginative This was a very odd book. The way it started I thought it was going to be a more inspirational type of book with protagonist helping people he encountered. Although some of this is true It is still very gruesome and bizarre throughout the book. I hadn’t read the introduc......more

Good series. Wasn't too sure at first, but liked it. Pretty gory in parts and definitely scifi, a little different then I'm used to, but good. Plan to proceed to the next book in the series. Recommended for anyone who likes gory action/thrillers with fantastical heroes (and even some that don't care......more

Quotes

“I don’t like horror novels. I don’t much care for the fantasy genre. And buckets of gore put me off. So how come I read two of these books? I’ll be honest with you: I was sort of trapped into it (don’t ask). And what do you know, I loved them, notwithstanding the above. First of all, Goldberg and Rabkin are keen observers and fine writers. Exposition, dialogue, plotting, description…they’re all first-rate: economical, coherent, and convincing. And Mathew Cahill is a genuinely intriguing character. And—to my surprise—darned if the books aren’t funny. To put it in a nutshell, I simply couldn’t put them down. No, really, I mean it. Literally. Once I started, I read each one through in a single night, which isn’t usual for me. And now I’m hooked on the series. My God, what’s happening to me? “ —Aaron Elkins, author of The Worst Thing, Uneasy Relations, and The Dark Place
