Title: enjoyable, can be read in isolation
Review: "Tainted Trail" is a fantasy novel set in the current day US. The fantasy elements all surround two factions of an alien race that is living secretly among us. One faction is intent on taking over the world; the other faction (Ukiah's) is intent on preventing that. Much of this book centers upon Ukiah's search for his forgotten childhood (an interesting twist on amnesia). The plotline is a search & rescue operation for a kidnapped friend.I've not read the book before this, about Ukiah's youth, and found the "Tainted Trail" stood on its own. This book didn't leave me thinking "Wow", but I read it quickly and enjoyed it thoroughly.
