* * * * Review ExcerptI thoroughly enjoyed "Papala Skies" by Stephen Geez and was very happy when I won "Invigilator" as part of a blog tour. It sounded like the kind of story I'd enjoy, i.e., laden with conspiracy theories and fun stuff like that.As soon as I started reading I was awed by the level of detail. Clearly the author knows his stuff. He definitely pulls you in with outstanding imagery and action, right down to the model of the various weapons and ammunition. I live in Texas and so much of what he said was familiar, since I've been to several of the locations he mentioned. The Southern mentality was on-target and made me feel as if I were a part of the militia depicted. The characters were convincing and real as well as their respective attitudes and motivations. The dialog was appropriately drawn with bad grammar sprinkled with slang such that I could almost "hear" the conversations, which sounded like something I might overhear in the local Walmart.
