Rats are a phobia held by many in today's world of nature fighting for survival over man; and Bethany Capri's fear of these loathsome creatures is only the beginning of a much larger problem!

In fact, Keterick, a police Rodenticider from the Inner Earth, has a mission to secure assistance from the Outer Earth (our world) for the eradication of rats – sixty-pound rats – before they eradicate us!

No Way Out


No Way Out is the memorable adventures of Kevin, and along the way in this novel of reality into dream into hallucination into the bizaar, Kevin has strange encounters with Boderliners, the cowboy, Coal Crack City, Buster Blue, Olly, Bright Community, among others. These nine chapters are well-paced and captured the reader's attention from beginning to end. A well-written short thriller that works with its unusual characters, it is sure to please the fans who enjoy the work of writer Dinah Roseberry. No Way Out is a novel that entertains, and has a lot of twists and turns in its adventurous plot, with good dialog coupled with clever characterizations. Enjoyable reading!

[I'd like to take this time to memorialize a great writer, reviewer (for Ghostvillage.com and other sites) and a dear friend: Lee passed away July 10, 2011 and leaves a deep hole in the hearts of all who knew him. May his spirit spread wide and far on the otherside as it did here with us.]

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secret of Nimh gone horribly wrong., September 25, 2003

By 

Ben Eden (Denton, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rodenticider (Paperback)

Rodenticider is the book that announces Roseberry as a stunning new presence in suspense thrillers. Yes, there's a bit of 1950s B-movie hommage in this one, but that doesn't begin to do it justice. Roseberry has researched her rats as painstakingly as Crichton did dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. The result is a reading experience that not only rivets the reader, but gives them a much a sharper perspective of the subject at hand. These rats are just plain terrifying, too. Think of the shark in Jaws, or the velociraptors in the Jurassic Park series. These are viscous creatures, and part of the brilliance behind this work is that Roseberry gives us a "good guy" rat with the toungue-in-cheek name Snuggums. The idea of simultaneously hating the rats and yet rooting for one seems odd, but Roseberry makes it work and then some. This is one author I intend to follow from now on!

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't want it to end., March 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rodenticider (Paperback)

Rodenticider is a grisly account of a strange and menacing world just beyond the consciousness of us "Outer Earth dwellers." This clever tale is full of non-stop action, contrasting the good versus depraved nature of living creatures, both humans and whiskered beasts. The author uses absolute genius to maintain a connection between the reader and the book's unusual characters, allowing us to experience their intense terror, stubborn pride and underlying compassion. I found myself urging them on; not convinced there could be an acceptable outcome to their plight. Sorry to have it end, Rodenticider is a must read. It left me anxiously anticipating the sequel.

This review is from: Rodenticider (Paperback)

From page one, I was drawn into the story, so absorbed that I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I can relate to Bethany and her fear of rats and how she must have felt in the job she did. My imagination soared at the thought of an inner earth like the writer created. A must read for all sci-fi fans...or someone like me who just enjoys a wonderfully crafted story.
