A gifted author with a knack for telling ultra cool stories, December 26, 2014 By Diana L (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Alex Cave Energy Saga box set. (The Alex Cave series Book 4) (Kindle Edition) There are some books that reel me in fast and in this case, it wasn't one book but a series of three. I don't do spoilers but I will clue readers in that book two on the series does have a cliff hanger. It was nice having all three books so that my reading continued seamlessly. The writing flows smoothly and what I liked best was this is not a cookie cutter read. The author added to the story, changed the story and sometimes took us down a totally different road than the one we expected. The characters are well developed and there was a consistent attention to detail throughout the series. Sometimes when I read a series, I find one of the books is a weaker read and leaves me a bit disappointed but that was not the case with this series. It was a smooth read from start to finish - but I do hope to see books 4, 5 and 6. From Alaska to polar vortexes to Yellowstone Park, the author kept me intrigued. It did take discipline not to jump ahead more than a few times as I was eager to find out what would happen next. If you are looking for a solid read that gives you a good mix of suspense, action and detail overlaid with sci-fi - this is a series that you'll want to read. You could buy the books one at a time but I think you'll appreciate being able to continue reading when you reach the end of 1 and 2 versus having to go back and purchase each book one by one. Corkill is a gifted author with a knack for telling ultra-cool stories- I was impressed.
