I found this short story anthology in my kindle cloud reader when going through the books I'd picked up for free and decided on a whim to read it as I'd heard of the author before and the cover picture was pretty awesome. I guess at the end I can say I was pretty impressed with the assortment of stories, but I did wonder if perhaps there would be a theme of the stories and their subject matter and I can say at the end that there didn't really seem to be one. It was a fairly short read but the stories were entertaining and there was enough variety in the action and scenes to keep everything fresh. My favorite would probably be Blue Eye Burn, and least favorite White Hell, Wisconsin but because the writing was mostly level throughout none of the stories really seemed like outliers. It made a great series of little distractions and I have to say that I enjoyed it quite a bit.
