"McCandless has created a fun, gripping adventure story. If like the concept of "Constantine" (movie and a graphic novel) you'll really like this book. Lots of action and excitement, but does NOT ignore character development. He's created a very interesting universe with lots of great detail and a rich universe of characters and understandable "rules." I like it when an author spends the time making his own world believable. Also written using alternating time references that fills in back story with lots of great details--overall a clever way to tell a much more expansive story. He has great, strong female characters." -- Edwin Lyngar
