Product Description

Product Description

Survival is a daily struggle for Eugene and Darryl, who walk the filthy, crowded streets of Louisville searching for a day's work or an abandoned house to loot for salable goods. Though Darryl has a job catering to an elderly rich man who lives in a private suburb lined with stone walls and razor wire, his wage barely feeds him, much less Eugene.

Then one evening there's a knock on the door and a mysterious man in a suit tells Darryl he's just inherited the entire fortune of his employer.

The two are quickly whisked away into a life of luxury, peace, and pleasures they never imagined, and as Darryl gets more and more involved with the company in which he now owns a large share, Eugene stumbles upon a shocking discovery: a teenage girl, locked away in a secret room in his and Darryl's new mansion.

And the story of how she got there uncovers a horrible truth about what the world has become.

What Thing Had Escaped is a dystopian serial novel in five parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patiently waiting.... 12 Oct 2012

A great read. Eugene is much more likeable than Darryl, and I expect he's going to become a bad guy in Part Two. Holstein is creepy, and I don't trust him. I'm not exactly sure where the story is headed, but whatever happens, I think that guy is going to be behind it. Ready for the next installment. Where is it???

5.0 out of 5 stars clear out your schedule, cancel all your appointments 11 Oct 2012
By Kyle B. Stiff - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
If you liked A Circle in the Woods, you'll love this book. It takes place in a futuristic version of Louisville, Kentucky, but it's not all lasers and hovercrafts. The city is falling apart, the air is polluted, the streets are crowded with homeless people, drug addicts, and prostitutes. Yet the upper class has access to futuristic technologies and live in guarded suburbs away from all the filth and squalor. Great characterization and an intriguing premise to what promises to be one crazy story. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read! 12 Oct 2012

I didn't know quite what to expect with this book, but I knew I liked the author's style in Circle in the Woods. I am glad I gave it a go! A futuristic read, but not so far-fetched you couldn't easily see it happening. Give this book a try - I don't think you will be disappointed!
