The first "Level 26", in light of comments has been very criticized. I found me a killer contortionist quite impressive and innovative - which was posing literary missing. In this opus one, the first chapter "in the air" to "good" following the first. Alas (3x), all other chapters have disappointed me! Steve Dark, the hero of the first becomes the outcast of his former chiefs and a couple who take revenge; it's already read 100 times. Because the story is less "exciting / impressive" than the first, one feels that Zuiker is not literary writer, but writer. Phew, the last page. But I do not give up, as volume 3 promises a hard task ... To see!?!
