Book Review: The Scorpion's Tail


Review:  #410
Title:  The Scorpion's Tail
Series:  The Doomsday Rats - 2nd book
Author:  James Moloney
Read Before:  yes
My Comments:  Not as intriguing as the first book but it does flesh out and build upon the story.  The major antagonist here is the titular scorpion but the author didn’t do enough for this robotic scorpion to feel like a proper threat.  A few things happen and it is the ending that shines through.  It is somewhat sad and a cliffhanger.  Even though some of the characters haven’t had much screen time, you’ve managed to develop a relationship with them, you care what happened to them and so the ending gets you.
Rating:  6/10
