BLURB: A squad of soldiers takes a ride out to the middle of nowhere, thinking they’re being punished for posting pictures of the Lieutenant’s old lady. But in an empty stretch of desert lives a cave where they stumble across a man whose presence they can’t explain...who speaks in riddles and seems to know them. Before they can figure out what he wants, they're already marked men.
2 STARS
MY REVIEW: This is not a book. It's an extremely short story that takes up half the file, the other half belonging to the first chapter of a completely unrelated book. It's a horror story like you might get watching something on the SyFy channel. Thing is, the writing is pretty good. I always do like JC's writing. This could have been the start of a book I actually liked, though it's a little outside the kind of thing I usually read. But I had to give it two stars, not for being short, but for having an abrupt, ambiguous ending.
