Damn, this book answers that question too well, in fact it knocked the query out of the proverbial park!
Joe Ledger and his team of warriors are at their absolute best here, battling to keep a nation (read: USA) hellbent on extreme responses steady, racing against paranormal and high-science threats at the same time. Damn, this was a ride, a ride that made me read this book at a stretch, over unslept nights.
Maberry, in his signature fashion, has sprinkled in characters from his other books here. I'm sure that the readers of his Pine Deep trilogy would love seeing their protagonists return and fight alongside Joe.. As I didn't read those books, it carried little weight for me.
Great book. I'm only giving this a 4 because the ending felt abrupt, I'd have loved a bit more meaningful ending of the big bad undead wolf. It just felt like the writer is keeping things to himself for the next book.
Eagerly awaiting the next one as it's touted to be the origin story for Mr. Church!...more
I've never read a Supergirl comic before, didn't really have interest for it. The name Tom King (I've thoroughly enjoyed his Batman run) and the news I've never read a Supergirl comic before, didn't really have interest for it. The name Tom King (I've thoroughly enjoyed his Batman run) and the news that the upcoming movie will be based on this finally intrigued me - and good that it did.
This was amazing. Not an usual over-powered fantasy like the Supes comics are, a simple character driven tale of revenge and how people grow in a journey across the cosmos.
Fantastic stuff. Will watch the movie surely....more

The only thing missing here was the references/citations at the end of the document, or he could have successfully submitted this one for a really detailed traveler's thesis of Barcelona's art and human origin.

Brilliant writing, fast-paced story with dry humor - a rather fulfilling read! My only disappointment is that the book isn't longer, the writer didn't delve deeper into the mystery.
Good read! Would love to read another one in this universe......more
