I tend to download a lot of free books from Amazon. Most of them are fairly terrible. One of the hundreds I downloaded was called Monstrocity by Jeffery Thomas. Out of sheer boredom I began reading the book, and was shocked by how well written it was. I was so shocked, in fact, that I stopped reading to go look up reviews from others who had read the book. After finishing one of the most chilling and entertaining reads of my life I can say I became a huge fan.
Thomas paints a detailed picture of the settings his books take place in. Paxton, or Punktown, is a city that has a life of it's own. After reading two books set in this off-world urban expanse I can almost fully envision the city as I read. I become immersed in the thick, dark detail that makes up this fictitious melting pot.
His characters are well imagined and stunningly unique in both personality and physicality. In Health Agent Thomas once again introduces us to a cast of never before seen characters. The story itself is complicated and imaginative.
Jeffery Thomas is a beacon of light in what has become a dismally unoriginal genre. I will continue reading his books.
