Mr. Goldberg is running a promotion this week (it will be ending soon) to celebrate selling almost 20,000 copies of this story and he provided me with a copy for review (thank you). See the bottom of this post to find out how you can get TWO stories for the same 99 cents!
Marty Slack is a TV network executive who really is a "slacker". He's not the most motivated person, he's sacrificed some of his own goals to keep his wife happy, and he's infertile. But he's getting by. And then a monstrous earthquake hits Los Angeles and his life and his values get turned upside down.
This is the story of one man trying to deal with what his senses tell him after a disaster. Unless you've lived through one yourself, you have no idea how you will react. Some take charge, some panic, some cringe in the corner, some just give up. It's a truth inducing moment to see what you can control, what you can do, and how you will survive.
The author takes you on Marty's journey from downtown to his home. He goes through hell on the way there and he's a different man at the end, but he persists. How he deals with the fear and horror around him makes a very ironic ending.
I really enjoyed this read and suggest anyone who likes reading about end of the world as you know it crises or psychological war in your mind will like it, too.
From Mr. Lee Goldberg:
It was two years ago today that, at Joe Konrath's urging, I began my "Kindle Experiment" by making my out-of-print book THE WALK available as an ebook. I've sold close to 20,000 copies of THE WALK since then...and to celebrate, and in a blatant to attempt to propel THE WALK into the top 100 on Amazon for the first time, I am selling the book for just 99 cents for the next week.
But to make the offer even sweeter, and to promote my original ebook series THE DEAD MAN, anyone who emails me proof of purchase (atlee@leegoldberg.com) will get a free copy of FACE OF EVIL. That's two books for just 99 cents.
Here's the link to THE WALK on Amazon...
If you've forgotten what Face of Evil is about, read my review here: http://bkfaerie.blogspot.com/2011/02/dead-man-face-of-evil-by-lee-goldberg.html
Mr. Goldberg's stories are entertaining and generally make you think about them after you've read them. Here's a great opportunity to read TWO of them for less than a buck. How can you go wrong?
Happy reading!
