WORK DONE FOR HIRE by Joe Haldeman ****

This was a quick read and very interesting. A writer is given a submachine gun or something similar, to use as a sniper rifle and he has no idea who he's meant to kill but it seems the invisible killers want him in DC. There is no way that anyone could have followed him in the manner and to the extent he was followed all the time. He never told anyone but his girlfriend where he was or where they were going. I didn't like that throughout the entire book. No explanation, even at the end. Reason for only 4 stars.

While the writer in the story is working on a horror novel/movie deal this whole charade begins. His girlfriend is eventually kidnapped, he walks into the house where she is and the publisher guy is there as a hostage not as the director at all. Another reason only 4 stars.

You get to read his short monster story which was weirdly interesting, the rest will keep you waiting for unanswered questions unless you're not a curious person.
Not bad. Not great.
