God do I feel awful....
I know ...I know I'm still moaning..however had the chance to finish Mine by Robert McCammon today having started it yesterday. Yet another outstanding book by McCammon in essence we are talking about a chase but a chase so brutal and horrific you just have to hold on for the ride! The main character is the superbly named Mary Terror and when we first meet her it soon becomes obvious that Mary has some serious "social issues" Described as a 6ft tall Amazon chick she is built like a "brick ****house" Mary is the sort of woman that you would encourage your friend to choose at the local dance hall..while you choose her pretty mate :) So Mary has decided that her long lost lover from some 20 years ago is calling her to join him from a little town north of San Francisco. Mary and Lord Jack were originally part of a terror group and Mary was carrying Jack's child when caught in an explosion she lost the child...so now our hero Mary decides to steal a baby and travel to meet Jack..who is bound to welcome her with open arms....not!! A baby is taken from the hospital newly delivered to the beautiful and wealthy Laura Clayborne and she is naturally none to pleased, whilst waiting for little David to be returned to her side after a weight check,....he is grabbed by the in form Mary and taken on a terror ride he will never forget. The story is a great dark horror tale told in a very easy and fun way by the master Robert McCammon...and I completed the 540 pages within 24 hours....woa!! My next read, already downloaded to my kindle, is Drago Descending by the soon to be world famous Greg Gifune, an author of outstanding literary ability so check him out at http://www.gregfgifune.com/ ...lets speak later...when I have stopped coughing...splutter..splutter :(( :((
