Customer Reviews

good start to the series

the book starts off great though depressing. it is about a guy trying to find out who he is and along the way who is trying to kill him. good read.

Excellent

Suspenseful, creative, and fast-paced, this book is wonderful. The chartacters are inventively developed and the story is engaging to the very last word.

Wow

One of Stackpole's best. Tight, gripping and full of the little details that let you fall into the story.

cover blurb says it all

This book has got to have the best cover blurb of all time (get a copy and see!)This is one of Mr Stackpole's better books. One of the few I've read more than once. Depressing, realistic, detailed and exciting. It's also based on a game which really exists, called Dark Conspiracy.

Dark, depressing, you'll have a great time

Waking up in a body bag with amnesia, that can't be a good sign, but this is the first sign Tycho Caine recieves to an impending adventure. Tycho finds himself in Phoenix, Arizona, a dark and despressing city surrounded by a cape by the name of Frozen Shade. He qucikly finds himself to be a major pawn in a game for the calling of the Dark Ones into our world. He joins a band of agents of a person referred to by the name Coyote, Not only does Tycho have to stop whatever is trying to enter our dimension he also discovers he's the primary target for a traitor in the ranks of Coyote's group. The book is a little hard to get into, but once you're there you'll have a heck of a time. Stackpole builds a dark, depressing world and a plot that is kind of a hybrid of Blade Runner and Call of Cthulhu. This is truly a gripping book, if you like dark cyberpunk thrillers this is a good one to pick up.
