My favorite story of the year, hands down. Fast paced action, great characterization, and the interaction between characters is spot on. The story is a combination of the TV show "Survivor" meets a twisted version of "Jurassic Park" with strangely deformed and wicked cannibals instead of dinosaurs. Keene has a unique talent for story telling, he can make you believe in the unbelievable. A must read for people that like to be entertained.

Ahhh, Keene has proved he's had a great inspiration...Richard Laymon! Of course, he probably would love to get away from being compared to Laymon, but I'd like to think of it as a huge compliment! Horror lovers who love/loved Richard Laymon's writing will love this book! How could you not, it's an island, it's a contest...and it's got something else inhabitating the island that will creep you out in an all familiar way. Horror readers in my opinion love the action, the blood, the gore, and being scared to death...that's why we read them! This has it all, and keeps the reader engaged until the end. My best advice would be to take a look...if your not too squeamish on horror related topics, how could you not love this adventure!
