one word for it ... fantastic ... but i could say a whole lot more! ... how Mel keegan does it beats me the stories seem to HAPPEN by themselves. (you know how when you read some books the plots seem to be pushed along?? any plot by mr keegan that i can think of seems to go along like something like lava or a stream of water following gravity - it just happens and takes you along for the ride. [STOPOVER] is great also because it lets us see some of the bg of the characters such as where they come from and how they grew up. seeing Shekley (i know i'm spelling that wrong, sorry, i don't have the book with me right now) makes me wonder HOW jarrat ever grew up at all - a lot of kids would of jacked it in and done angel ... shows us how strong jarrat is to survive. can't wait now for SCORPIO - hope it won't be long!!

This was the first NARC book I read (got the eBook, just couldn't resist, at the price: how could you), and am hooked. I know I'm reading the backstory first,
but I think that it will actually enrich the experience when I get ahold on the others. Am waiting for them right now (time of post: 4-24-08)
because the good folk at DreamCraft tell me they're bringing out a range of all the eBooks in the right format for my Pocket PC. So I'll be waiting a few
days or weeks, whatever, because I have the ppc in the briefcase on the train five days a week (yeh, I work in an office downtown. How boring is that?).
But I want to get in here and tell people, if they're thinking of starting on the NARC books, and they want to get to know the characters intimately
(and I do mean intimately!!) before the panic starts ... you can do a hulluve lot worse than 'risk' five bucks and get this one first. Wow factor: 110%.
[Thanks, Jeff: we appreciate the recommendation! To say 'thanks,' we'll send you the Microsoft Reader version of DEATH'S HEAD UNABRIDGED,
as soon as it's out ... and it's due at the end of April '08. At this time, 90% of the eBook conversions are done, throughout the whole Keegan list, and
we're waiting on some software to upload the online store. Thanks for bearing with us! -ED]
