Publisher's summary

Inspired by the classic science fiction novel Roadside Picnic and the stalker film and PC game series that followed, Dun Ringill is fast-paced military sci-fi story with a healthy dose of mystery.

When contact is lost with Skye, Earth's first large scale off-world colony, the Combined Space Fleet's Expeditionary Force sends a ship to investigate. Immediately upon arrival, the mission is met with disaster, and the rescue ship crash-lands on the surface. There is one survivor, Staff Sergeant Carthage, who discovers a planet ravaged by radiation and strange temporal anomalies. With just his weapons, survival gear, and a rudimentary scanner, he sets off across the barren landscape in search of answers. He alone must unravel the secret of Dun Ringill, unless he can find a few allies along the way.

Very Original

Sci-fi usually isn't my cup of tea. However, all the descriptive words and the narration kept you compelled to the story and wanting more. As it is a book, using descriptive words it really important. Books need to go more in depth about the plot and what characters and the places they are look like, movies can just easily show their viewers without deeply describing it. The narration was not monotoned at all, throughout the book having a deeper voice or the speed in which something was said differentiated characters and other aspects. One thing that I really liked was that the story dove into Carthage's thoughts so deeply, really analyzing all his options. I also found it interesting about that this planet had human life on it, people, electric cars, schools, etc. it was also nice to see the evolution of Carthage and Shivan's relationship. From her being very timid about meeting Carthage, not moving her hand from her gun, to them helping each other. A very good read for anyone into sci-fi and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to try something new.

A good addition to his other works

In general a good hard boiled sci-fi romp with monsters, bullets, and science/tech angles to keep you going until the end.
It would make for a nice self-contained movie and the audio book helps sell that.

If you haven't read any of his other works, you should check out his longer running series Reckless Faith and give him a look on at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/19033114.David_Kantrowitz
