Trent Zelazny (Goodreads Author)
"I have someone new to admire." -Joe R. Lansdale, Edgar Award winner "Trent Zelazny has already begun to carve out his own genre niche.

Brian and Kate are barely holding it together after having undergone a tragedy. They each have found their own ways of coping, but neither method is what you would call "healthy". What they are facing is pushing each to the brink and has taken its toll on their marriage. When they find themselves in possession of a mysterious briefcase, the contents seem like it might be a way to turn their lives back in a better direction, but the rightful own...more

When a couple finds itself in possession of a briefcase filled with $160,000 of obviously illegally obtained $100 bills, its criminal owner terrorizes the two in his attempt to retrieve it.
Destination Unknown is a tense and at times heart-wrenching psychological piece in the vein of the classic stalker thriller. The author's style is bold, the characters well developed, and the pace nearly perfect. Although formulaic, Zelazny knows his genre and takes great efforts to turn common cliches on thei...more

What's the scariest thing there is? In my opinion, it's the unknown. The faceless monster. In Destination Unknown Zelazny puts his characters, who already have enough trouble, into the cross hairs of a psychopath. The situation is reminiscent of old noir, mixed with some Cape Fear and contemporary suspense, becoming fully its own thing. Reading it, you can't help but wonder what you would do if in the same situation. I highly recommend this one.
I've read most of Zelazny's work, and along with To Sleep Gently, this is one of my new favorites.
Again, in Destination Unknown, Zelazny really puts the screws to his characters, and I relish that in a suspense tale. Just when you think you know where the story's going, -- blammo! -- you're off in a different direction and, by the end, careening downhill with no brakes. (I should warn you that I had to stop reading this one late at night because it was jacking my adrenaline and I couldn't get to...more

This is the first book I've read by Trent Zelazny and mark my words, it won't be the last. This is probably one of the most powerful indie books I've read, hands down. Although short, the book covers a lot of emotional ground and has a level of depth you don't find in many longer works. The prose is exceptional, and the tension sucks you in and doesn't let go until the very end.
