Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Moe rescues the Heisenbergs and they make their escape. There’s a good bit of tension and excitement in the shootouts.
Con: Moe’s a rather weak protagonist. He goes where other people tell him to. He needs Charlotte to rescue him twice and even a 10-year-old boy once.
The story is incomplete. It ends right where it was getting interesting. It's part of a series, and fairly weak on its own.
