It's fiction of an entirelynew flavor."-Kevin J. Anderson, coauthor of DUNE: THEBUTLERIAN JIHAD.Have you ever heard a cockroach fart, or felt someone sigh like thecold breath of a graveyard? Ken Rand has the most vivid descriptions, the most picturesque language of anyone I have read for a very longtime. His verbs, nouns and evocative imagery pop every detail into thereader's mind's eye with zest and humor. I laughed aloud at least once inevery chapter as this master storyteller presented the regulars of theLucky Nickel Saloon with western dialogue that rings true, spices thestory and lends the mind's ear the perfect timbre for the tale. His charactersare real people each distinguishable from the other as black is fromwhite."He looked to be no more than a suggestion of a man, somethingsomebody thought up and then decided 'nevermind' halfway through."How can you not picture the skeletonized man through this phrase?Chapter by chapter the reader is drawn into the lives of the patrons ofthe Lucky Nickel and their incredible visitors, though eccentric, theywere still believable under the pen of the genius of storyteller Ken Rand.A definite 6 on a scale of 1 to 5 where five is the highest score, I wouldhighly recommend this book no matter what your favorite genre, Randwill give you a new favorite to enjoy.-Wisconsin mystery writer, BillieA.
