Joe Kimball AKA Jack Kilborn AKA J.A. Konrath wrote this novel and oh my. You can pretty much tell where this one was going from the product description but apparently, my imagination could not even come close to what I got.
I definitely don't want to give anything away with this one so I'll just leave this fairly simple. I think it's well worth the price. It's a very good short story and even though it left me with some sadness when reading about the inhabitants of the planet, I still enjoyed it.
I think you'll be surprised while reading this one.
