J.
Barton Mitchell has created a world that not only
captivates the interest of every hard core science
fiction fanatic, it also is so well written that
it will keep even the casual sci-fi fans turning
the pages until the end. The core characters are
easy to get to know, and even easier to get to
like. Each character opens up to the point that
you understand them and see them as real characters
It is surprising how far the story goes in a relatively
short story. I personally liked Holt Hawkins the
best. Very rugged exterior with a fair amount
of insecurities to make him a real person. He
keeps going forward but never forgetting where
he came from and never stops trying to keep the
past from overshadowing the present. There are
plenty of well-planned out surprises as well and
twists that more that counteract some things that
are easy to see how they are to play out. The
best science fiction I have read in a couple of
years. Highly recommended. I am not really a fan
of series books, but if time allows, I would not
mind picking up on the next book of the series,
to learn more about where everyone goes on from
Midnight City.
