although I was one of those readers whom asked the question “what about allen?”
the story was choppy and seemed like it was pieced together trying hard to fill in gaps.
the Author admitted he was not going to write about Allen but was compelled by the readers.
this is how the book read, like an after thought.

although I can not imagine why the story of Allen (the unseen, but often spoke about hero of the previous stories) wouldnt be a part of the continual story escapes me. I can imagine the difficulty of interweaving this one story in and around the timeline of the previously written stories.

so the Author has decided to write the 2nd story in this saga of Allen Russell’s quest to make it to his family. well I hope the Author can dedicate his full attention to the story at hand and maybe stitch it all together to coincide with the previous stories.
