Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I started this book knowing it was part of a trilogy. I did not know until nearing the end that the author had no intention of completing any story arc. There is no story here, just a big commercial for the next book. Mr. Hutchinson went to great effort to end the book on a cliff-hanger -- it's sad that he has so little confidence in his writing ability that he feels this was the only way to entice readers to read book two. I, for one, will absolutely NOT be a buyer for book two. I have no problem with books that are part of a series, as long as there is a satisfying completion to the story in each book. I'm on book 10 in the Harry Bosch series and have every intention of reading all 20 or so books to date in that series; book 24 in the Kay Scarpetta series; eagerly awaiting book 23 in the Jack Reacher series; book 25 in the Alex Cross series; and on and on with many more series. Repeat readers are developed through compelling stories, not "gotcha" cliff-hangers.
