With some serious editing, this book would make a good movie. The plot is consistent with some of the action/adventure thrillers gracing the screen, and the concept is original, and one I haven't quite seen before.

That being said, this book needs a lot of work. The author uses a lot of descriptive language, and some of it is quite nice. However, those phrases are thrown into a mix of run-on sentences filled with grammar errors, and noticeably lacking proper punctuation (I'm not sure More...

At 468 pages, Dark End of the Spectrum, by Anthony S.

Enthralling book with an interesting plot that makes you read and read till the end.
The plot involves the latest communications technology and some futuristic inventions mixed with the worries and the day by day of a family man that becomes involved in a nightmare where thousands of people die and terrorists threaten the whole country.
He's a key man to defeat them.
