First of all, I noticed that the story is a good 8, almost 9 hours long. The new characters Wayne and his group and Dr. Marty and Shannon are a welcome addition. The dialogue between Barb and anyone is always edge-of-your-seat-dialogue. Who knows what’s going to happen next once Barb gets going? Who knew when the Mad Mick was first introduced in the Locker 9 series that he would take preeminence amongst all the books written by Franklin Horton? Wow, wow, wow!
