I would like to start off this review by advising readers that I received A Shock to the System (The Chance of a Realtime), the Kindle version, for free from the author. However, I do not personally know Mr. Mooneyham, nor do I feel obligated to base my review on the fact that the book was free.

I liked this book. I would have liked it even more had I realized that it is part of a series following a character that had been written about in several previous books. When I first started reading this book I was fairly confused about what exactly was going on, events made little sense. I'm pretty sure this is because of my unfamiliarity with what took place in previous books. Had I read the previous books I no doubt would have had no trouble understanding events from page one. However, the story that actually takes place in this book started to take form and I found myself really enjoying the story.

As for the ending, things were left up in the air, the story is continued in Meeting of the Minds (The Chance of a Realtime). Again, I was not aware when I started reading this book that it was in two parts, of which this was only the first part. I was somewhat disappointed to discover that the conclusion to this story was in a different book.

I'm giving this book four stars because I really enjoyed reading it. I would likely give it an even better rating if I were to go back and read the previous books, as well as finish this story by reading the second part. Please note, though, that my problems with this book are not the fault of the author. I should have read the product description better, it indicates that this book follows a previous series, and had I looked closer at the cover I would have seen that it clearly says "Book One".

So read the previous books, then read this one and then book two. You won't be disappointed. Heck, even if you read only this one you will still most certainly be entertained, just don't expect a conclusion.
