I had to read this one because I was intrigued and it had been out of print for so long before being re-released. I even purchased it the day it the same day it started being sold again.

Not his best book... Nazi U-Boat Zombies... A little out there even for Mr McCammon. The pacing was a little slow. The scares weren't really that scary. The twist was pretty obvious. And the ending was predictable and seemed to be clipped short.

That being said, I still love Robert McCammon's books and could only wish to have a small fraction of his tallent. Also, I can't wait to read some of his other books that have been out of circulation and are now being re-released in eBook format.

Of course, I'm also biased. I think Swan Song was his best work ever and that nothing will ever come anywhere close to that again. I'd love to be wrong though. Hopefully he has more great books on the horizon.
