4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting read, should have been longer, February 14, 2008
This review is from: The Cage (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book even if it seemed like a quick read. I felt that the characters,and there were some good ones, could have and indeed should have been fleshed out with more backstory.
Though action packed, paceing was a bit staggard which is one of the reasons I felt it should have been longer.
Don't get me wrong, I was not sorry I purchased the book, only that there was not enough of it. Maybe the next effort by the author will improve on this.

Don't stay in 'The Cage.', October 20, 2007
This review is from: The Cage (Paperback)
Jason Brannon's The Cage is a novel of many different things. It's a novel of how being on the other side of the law can get you into trouble; a novel about how a family can be going through a difficult time; and it's a novel about pure horror.
The Cage doesn't take too long to hook you. Within the first few pages you're wanting to read more, especially when you're wondering what Captain Jack Omaha has for his clients to `hunt.' Little do they know that Jack Omaha isn't all he is to be.
But, Jason has a way of switching so easily-so smoothly-into a different setting that it makes you upset that you're leaving your favorite part, which is why you continue reading. The action is well done, the suspense is non-stop, and the ending leaves you wanting more of the story.

Very Cool!, October 30, 2008
This review is from: The Cage (Paperback)
The Cage by Jason Brannon is a brutal shocking horror story that entwines fantasy, fiction, and a whole lot of fear together to make an amazing read. Brannon's descriptions and details of his characters is like watching a movie. I can clearly picture all that is going on, and I have to say my favorite part is Sister Mary when she "goes along for the ride," with Teddy. There were a few minor typo's but that didn't deter me from reading this great story, and let me tell you I really loved Jason's view of these creatures.
Captain Jack Omaha and his Cryptozoological Fair and Freak Show is out to mess up the lives of an uncountable amount of people. Jack himself had experienced such trauma when tracking a creature that was unknown to existence, that he sought out people who were looking for the thrill of the hunt to feed his own sick ego. After meeting 5 rich office type hunters, Jack unleashed the Sasquatch for the men to hunt down; unbeknownst to the men, he also let loose a second creature, The Dragon of Bone Island.
Grant Peters is trying to piece together his relationship with his wife and kids. They are now at The Preserve trying to have a nice family weekend. Jack Omaha has once again unleashed his creatures into the world, The Dragon of Bone Island tracked him down, releasing some of the most dangerous creatures in the world. The Windego, The Beast of Exmoor, and The Chupacabra are all wondering around in the zoo, maiming and eating whatever or whoever they can get a hold of. Now Grant's daughter, Crissy has been snatched up by one of the creatures and he's playing games with her... dangerous games.
All the while Teddy is trying to be a hero, he was one out of the group of guys that actually survived The Dragon and was now out to make this all come to an end. He must take down The Dragon, as well as the rest of Omaha's creatures. But he does have a little help, the ex-nun Sister Mary is along for the ride, providing him with the info he needs... only she is riding along in his brain. Curious? Get a copy and find out what I'm not telling you!
