ataraxia avatar reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


This story has a bittersweet feel to it. Time has marched on, and Travis keenly feels his age and the passing of friends. He fears to get entangled with drug dealers, but to avenge his friend he plunges blindly into the drug dealers' world and starts a mob war. Finally, we get a tantalizing peek into Travis' earlier life: his monther, father, brother, and past awards.

Part of the blue funk he feels thrugh the book is the feeling that he is alone and has nobody to miss him when he is dead. An episode from the past returns to revive his joie de vivre.
