5.0 out of 5 stars Adam has a new fan! August 24, 2012

While it is a little out of genre from the books I normally pick up, I decided to check it out after it was recommended to me. It was a bit different, but in a great way!

There were twists and turns that kept me reading page after page. I was left surprised and excited the whole way through!

Even better, this isn't one of those short Kindle books that ends before it even feels like it has started. (I know I'm getting tired of "books" that only take 15 minutes to read.)

What a wonderfully written and executed story! I was engaged in the fabulously developed characters right from the beginning and couldn't bring myself to put the book down until I was almost finished! The author, Adam Said did a superb job developing the characters and keeping the reader interested and engaged the entire way through. I can't say enough great things about this book and I plan on recommending it to everyone I know that enjoys a great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! August 28, 2012

It is not often that someone can so masterfully combine genres as Adam Said has done in his book, "The Flames of Perdition." Part sci-fi, part western, part mystery--"The Flames of Perdition" lures you into a haunting, suspenseful story with a twist of philosophy and allegory that will leave your senses reeling. The town of Atonement, loyally guarded by the Towns Marshall, John Cartwright, has seen better days. In an ironic twist, Atonement is actually a sordid seed bed ready to succumb to the nearby Dark Territory rather than a place of redemption, and John is all that stands between it and the evil that pervades the town when three mysterious strangers arrive. Uncanny deaths, inner demons, and unrequited valor will torture John and the townspeople, and John must fight not only for others' lives, but his own soul as well. "The Flames of Perdition," with its rich vocabulary, complex characters, and tense, convoluted plot, is a refreshing read. It will leave you breathless and asking for more from this unique author.
