This book reads like a comic book but with a few differences. I really goes into details of the lead character, Reaver, and his past. It introduces many of the other heroes that have either been killed or retired. At times this gets overly explained since most of these characters have nothing to do with this story.

The story has a surprise ending that is really a creative twist. I liked it but it was a bit long and at times just went into too much detail for the story to flow.

Rick Asher is a lover all kinds of stories. A rapacious reader now retired he finally has time to read all the books and watch all the films he has always wanted to. Thanks to BookGateway he gets to share his opinions and recommendations as well.
