4.0 out of 5 stars One hell of a read, Mar 14 2003

By	"ghiddyz2" (akron, ohio) - See all my reviews

This book is 400 pages long. And in those 400 pages, there is enough sheer chaos in this book for three novels of this length.

Slade sometimes gets a bit too verbose, but one thing you can always count on is that things will be nothing short of anarchy with his settings and plots. And while there were a few characters that really could have been left out of this book, I was absoulutely blown away by how cunning, manipulative, and relentless Evil Eye (the main villain) was in this book.

Michael Slade has an amazing gift as a writer - he makes you want to root for the bad guys because they're so darn cool. This is one of those books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time, May 2 2002

By A Customer

This book is hard to follow, as it jumps around a lot in time - starting in Africa in 1879 and jumping forward to the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. There are too many plot twists. I finished the book because I was bored and had nothing else to read, otherwise I'd have stopped about a third of the way through. By the end I didn't really care who the killer was, I was just glad the book was done. I haven't read other books by Michael Slade, and this one doesn't inspire me to seek out any others by him.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new friend in an old series, Mar 8 2002

By	Steven Grogan (Troy, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was happy to see Slade pick a new character for the main spotlight, this time around pushing Nick Craven forward as the center of attention. As always, several plotlines are blended amazingly well .... This time around the flashback scenes involve the Zulu Wars, and it's nice to see Slade can handle action on an epic scale as well as the one-on-one murder scenes. You might get an idea who/what the killer is ahead of time, but in the end the identity isn't even close to what you expect. All in all another fine Special X book, although it's not like this series has ever let me down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Far from "his" best
I have now read most of Slade's books, and I am so disappointed at his (their) efforts after Headhunter and Ghoul, which are the two best crime thriller novels I've ever read... Read more

I found Michael Slade many years ago with his book, Ghoul. Now whenever Slade comes out with a new book, I pre-order it. Read more
