review 1: There are spoilers here. Maybe it's because my wife and I had been discussing the Jerry Sandusky case that I was immediately reminded of it while reading The Reporter. I am curious as to whether the plot points surrounding Tarat the Smasher's decision to protect his reputation over coming forward with evidence was written before or after the facts of Sandusky's case were brought to light. In comparison, the grisly murder of Grace is somehow a more palatable choice of a crime to have at the heart of this story than child molestation, but that is really the only substantial difference between the circumstances in both cases. While many readers sharper than I probably saw it coming, it took me until Yolanda had said, "You're disgusting," to Tarat in the scene in his apartmen... moret to make the connection. In this case, I believe that Tarat is symbolic of Penn State administrators in general and Joe Pa more specifically. I have no idea what Mur and Scott's relationship is like nor do I have any insight into their process for collaborating like this. That being said, I could almost imagine Mur saying the things that Yolanda said and Scott playing devils advocate and making Tarat's argument. In no way do I mean that Scott has any particular beliefs about the Sandusky case that I know of. I just thought that I picked up a trace of sympathy from the authors when Tarat challenges Yolanda's big talk about how she would have acted in his place. All that business took this from simple e-book novella status up to something better. Good job, guys.
review 2: This story fills in details behind the scenes of the novels in Scott Sigler's GFL series, specifically during the events in The All-Pro. Follow reporter Yolanda Davenport as she discovers the details and truth behind the murder she previously reported as committed by Ionath Krakens' starting player Ju Tweedy.This book is very readable with a fast moving story. You'll learn additional details about OS1 and as a bonus, you're casually introduced to a new species of sentient!If you enjoy the GFL novels, you won't want to miss this addition to the story! less
