First of all, this edition is one long series of typos and misprints. I could accept this from a cheapo book, but not for a $12+ book.
Secondly, if you can ignore the typos and misprints (including malapropisms and needlessly repeated words), the story is poorly written, with a poorly conceived plot, one-dimensional characters, and rampant racism.
Lastly, if you can stomach the wretchedly written story till the end of the book, you'll find there's no ending -- the story simply cuts off. No ending, no explanations.
What a huge rip-off and disappointment.
I'll never again waste my time and my money on a Mark Slade book.
