Mother Russia being the only work I’ve read from Jeff McComsey, I get the sense that the man has a unique way of looking at story telling. Rather than feed a reader details about the setting, backstory about the characters, and other such incidentals, he cuts right to the chase. It is an effective approach, drawing the reader into the world he creates, albeit at the expense of opportunities to flesh that world out.
