In general, I found Dark Earth an intriguing story badly written. I'm doing that awful habit of mine at the moment where I'm reading lots of varied books at once and I think Dark Earth suffered a bit in comparison to the rest. Jason Halstead is obviously a hugely prolific writer but I'd rather he spent a bit more time tightening this up before rushing on to the next. I don't think I'll be continuing this series. I enjoyed many aspects of this book. The first part seemed a little heavy on the back story but the characters were compelling enough for me to keep waiting for something major to happen. Then it did and the story races toward the end. It begs for a sequel since the story ends rather abruptly with little clue as how the main characters will deal with dilemma the story lead up to. Left me wanting more chapters.
an okay read i think this book would appeal to my teenage niece

Grammatically well edition. Nothing else merits anything.

Amateurishly written. Story was pretty boring.
