Review of Race the Night
He watched, helplessly, as the receding tail lights of his Corolla sped north, away from the freeway, away from the burning gas station and, most importantly, away from him. They grew steadily fainter and then he blinked and they were gone ... his car, his daughters ... and the killer of children ... Mike Hasker is a man with problems. A gambling addiction has led to the loss of his job, his home, and his wife. The only joy he has left in the world are his two young daughters, and he will do anything to protect them. But now, on a deserted back road far from civilization, he will come face-to-face with ultimate evil, a hunted serial killer that may be more¿or less¿than human. This man wants only one thing, Mike¿s children, and he will kill anyone who gets in his way. As the police close in on the wrong man and a blizzard descends upon him, Mike will be faced with the most important decision of his life: recover his children before nightfall ¿ or lose them forever. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Russell C. Connor was the victim of a thwarted kidnapping attempt when he was eight-yea rs-old, but he is almost positive the Dark Filament had no hand in it. He has since become a devotee of all things horror. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife and evil cat and is hard at work on his next novel.

Excellent writing!
I picked this book up with the expectation of a good read that would give me a few 'huh!' moments and a lot of 'holy...!' moments. I was not in the least bit disappointed. Having only required two days to read this book (reading between the time I woke up in the morning and the time I went to work, mind you) is a testament to the captivating style of writing this book possesses. You may think you see where the story is leading, but Connor's book will keep you constantly on the edge of your seat, as if you NEVER had a clue what was about to happen next. I want to read it again, it's that good. You can't go wrong with this novel...you won't want to set it down.

A Supremely Good Book!
I first read Race the Night two years ago on a plane ride to Tokyo, Japan from San Francisco, California. I started just before take-off, and finished a few hours before landing. It was just that kind of book, the kind you feel compelled to finish in one sitting. It is truly a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat, page turner, to use all the obligatory cliches.
It is superbly written, the characters are real, with believable, witty dialoge, the setting is realistic and faithful, and the plot just grabs you and wont let you go. I have nothing bad to say about it, really.
To finish up, I'm basically telling you to buy this book, it's really worth it.
