A Review and Excerpt

Relentless by Joseph DiMari

My rating on a 100-point scale: 94

Relentless    This is a great read. I highly recommend to everyone old enough for the adult circumstances and horror elements. There are a few things I could complain about (mentioned in my comments, made during my reading of the book), but the complexity of the story and characters overcomes all the minor technical errors. This book is just so good, you have to read it for yourself to understand.

My comments made while reading this book:

"Other than small technical errors (OK instead of okay, till instead of 'til, a slight overuse of ellipses and exclamation points, etc), this is very-well-written and an easy, action-packed, fulfilling read. I'm very much enjoying the adventure and the plane hasn't even crashed yet." 

"With memorable and fun characters, this book is really a great read, a fun trip."

 "Intense. And, oh, the horror!"

 "Some of this story seems strangely familiar... But what a ride!"

   Also, with the author's permission, I am sharing an excerpt with you today (from chapter one)! Please enjoy: 


An Excerpt:


   Jack Andrews stared out the window at the receding landscape, his six-foot frame feeling a bit cramped in one of the small seats of the passenger compartment.  He had been with Prather Enterprises for 10 years now, and he took enjoyment in his work, dividing his time between his sedentary job and the more vigorous activities of hiking, swimming, and learning the art of Judo.
