BUY Link and Synopsis for Moon Shadow by Reggie Ridgway

http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Shadow-ebook/dp/B0091I3MI4

When a new and potentially planet-killing contagion is discovered, Moon Shadow, an isolated resort town located in Alaska’s primitive and rugged interior, becomes the focus of a military-style incursion.

Major Pepper, who is in charge of the operation, has the local residents rounded up into a razor-wire inclosed quarantine. Because of the danger of a potential pandemic, they are to be transferred to a more prison-like underground quarantine.

Two of the residents, Trevor, a young physician, and Jodie, an Earth Project environmentalist, are not having any of this obvious violation of human rights. They escape and are hunted down like fugitives with the full arsenal of the US Army at the Major’s disposal. The two have to use a zip line to escape a three-story-burning lodge. When they seek refuge in an abandoned gold mine, the entrance is caved in by a missile strike.

The two fugitives do manage to find a way out of the mine and try to make their way back to civilization and safety by floating down river on a rubber raft. While fighting for their lives against nature and the deranged Major Pepper, the two begin to fall in love with each other. They discover they have more to live for then exposing the Major for his treachery and his murder of innocent civilians for the greater good.

This review is from: In the Midnight Hour (Kindle Edition)
Right from the start I was hooked in and felt deeply involved with the characters. Ridgeway weaves a captivating spell over the reader with his effortless but never forced storyline, drawing you deeper and deeper in until you can't put the book down. He's a writers writer, with a profound and abiding love of language that comes across in his work without feeling pretentious. His attention to detail is astonishing. I learned a great deal reading this thriller. Most importantly he has a wild, unyielding imagination that keeps you guessing right up until the very last minute. It's refreshing not being able to predict how the story would end - or who would die next! Great fun. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves well crafted thrillers and be happy to read anything else by this author in the future!

New Review for In The Midnight Hour Yippee

4.0 out of 5 stars Very intriguing, August 11, 2012
This review is from: In the Midnight Hour (Kindle Edition)
In the Midnight Hour follows several characters on a destructive collision course where lives will be lost and careers destroyed. Filled with an array of interesting characters and plot ideas, In the Midnight Hour was quite an entertaining and chilly read.

As a retired military medic and X-ray technologist, Reggie Ridgway certainly has the inside scoop on hospital life and the everyday happenings of its staff. I found it quite interesting to find out what happens behind the curtains and, with all his knowledge of hospitals, he really brought the setting to life.

At times the character descriptions or operation procedures are a bit lengthy, but once the action really starts and the tension rises, you'll care even more for these characters. The climax of In the Midnight Hour is certainly one of those endings that'll keep you reading late into the night. Perhaps that's another reason why Reggie chose the title.
