Order Slow Fire by Ken Mercer from B&NJoe Hartlaub recently reviewed Slow Fire in Bookreporter.

“When an author can get the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end within the first few pages of a novel, you know that he or she is worth the valuable time you will spend reading… Such was the case by the third page of Slow Fire, Ken Mercer’s debut novel.”
