The jail setting is what sealed the deal for me to buy this book. Well, that and the fact that Tim can describe a mole and make it sound interesting. The read started out good with a new guy, Palm, being transferred into Shaddock from another prison facility. His new roomie, tries to tell him the lowdown and how this prison works. Palm knows all this, but cannot avoid his place at the bottom of the totem pole. But when someone hurts Palm, that someone gets hurt in return.
The scenes were recycled, some words were used excessively, and the prison hierarchy/way of life was described repeatedly, taking away from the story. The ending was...different. A semi-solid read.
