I really enjoyed the Frank Pavlicek books by Straka Cold Quarry (A Frank Pavlicek Novel) series. I think he has the ability to create a great story with memorable characters. The premise of the story is quite engaging and I especially appreciated the way the author allows his protagonists to be confused about what’s really going on. An interesting concept, plenty of action in a short space; however, it is another one of those books that seem to have been chopped into 3 (or more) parts to enable a series. The book skims the surface in characterization, theme, and plot-- more a novella than a book. I didn't realize that this was a "to be continued" read and was unhappy to find a cliffhanger, not a resolution.
