Not too bad. Original storyline and reminds me of a poor man's stainless steel rat. Our hero does make some rather silly mistakes though (really silly) which rather spoils the storyline....... ( )

Wow! James Chalk did it with this story. I was captivated from the very beginning and it didn't let me down. The vivid descriptions made me feel like I was on this journey with Jonathan Harkon. Can't wait for more. ( )

Lots of action and suspense. Great ending. Not for the faint of heart. ( )

What a hoot! The Meat Market delivers in a big way! I thoroughly enjoyed this futuristic tale of a black market condom salesman/bouncer/prince set in a seedy off world ruled by sadistic "religiopricks". Written in the first person in noir style, the narrative is reminiscent, to me, of that in Ridley Scott's iconic movie "Blade Runner".

Fast-paced and full of cliff-hanging moments, you will find yourself staying up in the "wee smalls" as I did last night unable to put it down. Mr. Chalk's characters are complex and unpredictable and his vision of the future world is, to say the least, compelling. Also, as an animal lover, I particularly liked the characterization of Harkon's "cat", Baihu!

This is truly a fun tale and I, for one, can't wait for the next installment in the Jonathan Harkon series. I highly recommend it! ( )
