Red Moon

Over the holidays I finally had some time to sit down and read Red Moon by David Michaels and Daniel Brenton.

Be careful, once you start it, there's no way you're going to want to put it down. I found myself up in the middle of the night Christmas night trying to make my way through and find out what happened to Belinsky and the rest of the characters!

In all seriousness, this is a really great read. I know it's a bit of a cliche to say, but it really is a thrill ride. I can't think of any better way of putting it.

I've read a lot of fiction in my life, and seldom have I sat down with a book that had me so hooked by the end of the first few pages and kept me completely and totally enthralled straight through to the end.

My only complaint is that when it was over I was actually wishing there was more. Not because the ending was bad, but because I wanted to know exactly what happened next to each character.

One thing that really struck me as I read was that for a couple of guys who apparently haven't ever put together a fictional book like this before, it rivals New York Times bestsellers. If I had no idea who wrote it I would have assumed it was written by Tom Clancy. The style and the pace reminded me of the days long ago when Clancy first put out his most popular books. If these guys haven't sold the movie rights yet, I want in!

In case the readers of this blog haven't noticed, there's a graphic and a link to the Red Moon site on this blog in the right hand column. I really can't think of any fictional book I'd more highly recommend reading at this point. Enjoy it folks, and then bug Daniel to put out a sequel, because you're going to be wanting more when you're done.

And, no, in case you're wondering...Daniel didn't pay me to write that. Just my honest opinion.
