Loved it!

I read this book years ago and was glad to find it here!!! It's very interesting and VERY demented!!!

Fantastic immersive story!

Absolutely spine chilling with plot twists. It made traffic my favorite time of the day!

jaw dropped!

like WTFFFFF! it's a crazy, crazy story! listen immediately! Also the production was just top tier sound effects the orator! All of it was top tier and beautifully produced.

Cyber-bridges give creepy depth

Level 26 is a cross-platform experience; it's a book backed up by some wickedly creepy online content. Honestly, though, without the cyber-bridges, I probably would have given this book only three stars.

The book was created by the same guy who created the CSI television shows, and since I tend to like dark, gritty fiction, I liked this very much. That said, there wasn't a lot of character development, and everyone fits neatly into one little box; the good guys are all good, and the bad guys are bad, and the government is shadowy and cruel.

If you like books that are both creepy and gory, you'll like this. If you like police procedurals, you probably won't, because it requires a very strong suspension of disbelief, both in the abilities of the antagonist and the ham-handed attitudes and overall incompetence of law enforcement.

This book is the gory equivalent of chick-lit; light in plot and character development, heavy in timekilling fictional fun. I enjoyed the book and the online content VERY much, and look forward to the sequel.

If there is a such thing as a level 26 killer please do not alert the public it would be a disaster.
