Product Description
After the horror the Cobra unleashed upon Metro City, Paul Sanderson has recuperated, regained his strength and focus, and the city has been rebuilt. Metro's citizens have slowly started to regroup and move forward. Into this relative calm marches Ma Tzi, the Hong Kong drug lord, who senses a weakness in resident crime lord Robert Latham's hold on the city, and intends to exploit that, in any way necessary. And at any cost. In the midst of their vicious gang war, a new terror envelopes the city-a virulent plague wipes out thousands, a plague that The Wraith soon discovers to be man-made. With no end in sight, and his assistant Max Horton missing, can The Wraith stop Latham and Tzi from executing further carnage, save countless lives and find those responsible for the heinous slaughter of untold innocents?

Super Reader, July 31 2007
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Valley of Evil: A Superhero Novel (the Wraith Series, Book 2) (Paperback)
The second Wraith novel is an improvement, I think. Right from the start Dirscherl throws you into the middle of crazy action.
Recovering from his injuries, The Wraith has to deal with not one, but two crime lords battling for control of the city.
There is yet a third force, though, Natalya Blackova, former right hand woman of The Cobra. She, is of course a supervillain with powers of man control by pheromones. It seems she enhances this effect by dressing like Evira.
Her insanity leads her to introducing toxins into various parts of the supermarket supply chain, killing a lot of people, thus keeping the police, The Wraith, his wife and assistant too busy to deal with her actual target.
None of this is obvious to the reader, neither are the parts of the first scene, where The Wraith infiltrates crime lord #2's mansion to remove a supply of narcotics, with a bang. All is not what it seems there, either.
The Wraith's wife, Leena, is developing into a capable solo character in her own right, so he entrusts some tasks to her.
Car chases, plane chases, capture by alluring superwomen, oh yeah, and a mass of ninjas! Is mass the collective noun for ninjas? :) If you are captured by a crazy superwoman, of course she will make you fight to death in the arena versus your ensorcelled comrades, both old and new.
Same thing with the ninja crowd though, all is not what it seems there, either. I guess I forgot to mention the Zombie Powder, too.
The possibility appears to exist that The Wraith will gain a new assistant, as well.
This book is a whole lot of superheroic pulp fun, and the good news is there seems to be more to come, as there is an afterword by the author detailing his plans to write one Wraith novel a year, with the next due in 2007 based around an Aztec theme.
I look forward to some more of the same.
Listmania!
