Oh man, that sucks. I really thought it was going to be something about them all going back in time. That furging blows...

Kerrick, you are absolutely correct! They did count...at times.

But then there would be this big gun battle where the typical bad guys couldn't hit shit in a narrow hallway, but yet anybody in the Cawdor group hardly ever missed! And had endless ammo a lot of times. 

But yes, There was a couple of instances where Jak and Ryan were counted their bullets.

Just wasn't consistent. But hey, I am sure it ain't easy writing these books. I admire this author for at least bringing back stuff from actual extreme cold weather to even Krysty correcting Ryan's verbiage. (When was the last time THAT was done?)  Even Ryan's scarf...albeit too late in the story. Should have been brought up automatically, and used to throttle a guard, instead of Doc's OBVIOUS cane.

I hope this particular author tries again, takes into account what we are saying, use it constructively, because I personally am not wanting to bash ANY writer here, and give us diehard fans an even tighter, better written DL adventure.

Again, you are spot-on in your comments Kerrick.

I thought the same thing. The barrels thing...

I really, really wanted to love this book. The title suggested that FINALLY someone in the cadre of authors were going to get back to a Cerberus time trawl type storyline. But it ended up being way out there for me. (And apparently for others too!)

Although I applaud the author for his obvious solid imagination, but like his recent Outlanders book Genesis Sinister, the sci-fi aspects were just too bizarre for me to swallow or picture firmly in my own over-imaginative reading mind.

Even though this series is now labeled sci-fi, I think there are certain sci-fi lines one should not cross. The 'invisible, floating teeth thingamajigs eating time' was an example. And Andy Boot's last book. Too far out there.

But Alan Philipson's Shadow World is a perfect example of utilizing that sci-fi aspect to fit this particular series.

I found this to be a weak and disappointing story.
