Format: Paperback - 429 pages
Rating: Overall Concept - 6/10
Execution - 9/10

This book is the sixth in Michael Slade's series of novels dealing with the exploits of Special X, a division of the Vancouver RCMP.

This book follows the standard faire of any of these books, with over the top sex, violence and the criminally insane.

However, unlike its predecessors this book is full of excellent plot twists and unexpected surprises.

By this time in "his" career, Michael Slade has fully developed his writting skills and this book shows it.

I would still recommend that anyone wishing to read Michael Slade begins with the books in their chronological order (Headhunter (of which Primal Scream is a direct sequel of), Ghoul, Cutthroat, Ripper, Evil Eye and then Primal Scream). I suggest this as the characters carry through these books and without the previous knowledge of them and their histories, as provided by the earlier novels, the book may become muddled and hard to fully appreciate.

I can hardly wait to read the rest of this series, as this book was most excellent.
