Amy Wung is walking her German shepherd dog Nikki when she meets a man
who asks her for directions. This man is different as he has 6 fingers
on each hand. She walks away and glances back to notice that he dropped
his mobile phone. She turns and picks up the phone but this is a model
of smartphone she has not seen before.
Shadow Stations: Unseen is a nice tale for dog lovers because of how
people live with dogs. This novella is set in America and is a short
story written in the style of a B movie. It is a fantasy adventure, a
piece of science fiction that is not to be taken seriously. This daft
silliness is easy reading due to it's clear writing style.
Amy has an attitude which is refreshing, although other reviewers
disagree. This story however is lacking. Lots of things are simply
convenient to make this story work. It is neither deep or gripping.
There is nothing special about this book. It also lacks realism.
There is one funny paragraph that I can quote but this is the funniest in the whole book...
... Antoine stared at the palm trees beyond the beach. "Get up, man, get
up. There's a house. I don't care if Granny Psycho lives there. I'm
going to ring the fucking doorbell and get myself a cell phone and a rum
and Coke."
... Shadow Stations: Unseen is a small 233 KB Amazon Kindle eBook and
was written in 2012. I think it is a poor book and I will vote it only 2
stars. I suggest you give it a MISS. This is a 2nd class read. The
ending is silly and tells me not to bother with the sequel called Shadow
Stations: Black Friday.
