The Professional Freelancer by Rory Scherer

The Professional Freelancer by Rory Scherer
Publisher: Rory Scherer (May 2014)
114 pages, eBook (provided by the Author for review)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Content Note: Includes Swearing, Sexual References and Graphic Violence

The narrator begins by getting laid off from his job and his luck just keeps getting worse from there. We never learn much about the narrator’s appearance, and are never given his name, but his anonymity lends a kind of extra mystery to the telling of the story. The story alternates between past and present, until we are all caught up to the present situation, and I thought the style of delivery was very engaging—it definitely kept my interest. It was a little heavy on analogies and references at times, but I eventually got used to that and just took it as part of the narrator’s personality. Great novice meets underworld adventure, and I hope to see a second installment!
