Stark is the bad guy who plays the good guy that you root for, in this fast paced, supernatural, funny, violent, B movie, full of magic type novel. After escaping from Hell, after 11 years of just trying to stay alive in the arena, Stark is back in L.A. to kill those in the Circle who sent him there and murdered his Alice. Stark is not an all too bright hit man. He doesn?t quite put it all together until he is told at the end, and then he doesn?t even care. Which is great for a person/gladiator/warrior that does nothing but kill? By tracking down those he intends to take his revenge out on, he ends up owning a crappie video store. Those that help and guide Stark along, are interesting and original characters too; Muninn the salesman, Vidocq the alchemist, and Kinski a doctor. At the core of the novel, is one of the mistakes that God made in the Creation, the Kissi (pronounced Kee-shee) who are angels too, but live on chaos. Partnered with Mason, they have a plan for Hell, Lucifer, and it?s Hellions, Heaven and it?s angels, and for the one and only human to escape from Hell, Sandman Slim.
Fans of the ?Evil Dead? movies, and the Dresden Files, will love this book. Kadrey is currently writing the next Sandman Slim book. I can hardly wait!
