The BLACK TERROR returns! But NOT as you remember him...
In 1940, the U.S. Government forced the super-heroic Terror Twins to give up their costumed identities and keep their loved ones safe. Thus, The Terror and Kid Terror retired to a mundane life of work, school, and home.
And to see their adventures whitewashed and reduced to comic book propaganda as "The Black Terror."
But two years later, The Terror puts on his mask again to fight political corruption, organized crime, and illicit drugs in Raceway City.
As The Terror navigates this dangerous new landscape, he encounters a former New York City cop with his own set of wild powers. But is he friend or foe?
Can The Terror become the hero Raceway City needs, or will his return to action be cut short by the beguiling and dangerous Sylvia Devereaux?
I am not use to reading books with that much action in the first three chapters, I’m use to watching action films, so for me, and this is me and should not deter anyone from picking up this book, I had to reread the first few chapters twice and write down the characters to understand who they were. However, once I got a grasp on the action, it was smooth sailing. The characters of Tim, Velma, and Bob Benton are an absolute pleasure, and them being flawed makes them endearing and completely relatable. Having to constantly attempt to balance what is good, what is right, and the least deadly consequences that either of those roads take was an evident theme throughout the pages. Despite this being about people with special abilities, the struggle with morality is relatable without thwacking you with a baseball bat. One of my favorite parts, more importantly, is how it shows that you don’t always need grand gestures to serve as a productive member of society; often times, you can simply be yourself.
