   I am annoyed

   As I have mentioned before, I listen to novels via Audible when I am on   
   my (somewhat) daily walks or doing my job as an organlegger. I saw one   
   by Dean Koontz that looked interesting and got it, "Fear Nothing"   
   (1998). I liked it, although the writing style of the narrator I find to   
   be a bit off-putting. The narrator is fond of lists that have too many   
   entries and goes off on too much expository (I think that might be the   
   right word) prose at times, but I like the story overall. It does make   
   the miles go by faster, both walking and driving.   
      
   The next book in the series is "Seize the Night" (1999) and I downloaded   
   that one and it too was good.   
      
   I didn't realize the books had been published that far back, but that   
   was not really an issue. I went to get the next in the series, "Ride the   
   Storm) and IT HASN'T BEEN FINISHED YET! Or maybe even started!   
      
   Who does he think he is, George R.R. Martin? I need closure, damn it!   
      
   Fortunately, I am working my way through the Lincoln Lawyer series so I   
   am not stuck for something new for a few days.
