The Ninth Dominion

Jared Kimberlain #2

by Jon Land

DISAPPEARANCE. At a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane, eighty-four of the most dangerous psycopaths alive have vanished from their cells without a trace. Leading their ranks: the Candy Man -- the most ruthlessly brilliant serial killer ever in captivity.
DETERMINATION. The only way to catch a crazed killer is to think like one. Rogue agent Jared Kimberlain -- the most dangerous man who ever worked for the forces of good -- is the only man driven enough to do the job. Or die trying.
DEVASTATION. A shocking conspiracy is taking shape across the country, hatched by an unholy alliance of twisted, insane murderers. They plan to wipe out the entire population, and they possess the horrifying means to do it.
THE NINTH DOMINION. It could be mankind's ultimate undoing. Jared Kimberlain is all that stands between humanity and a grave new world of disorder, damnation, and death. Time is short, and the fuse that will ignite a hell on earth is shorter . . . .

Started several times. Had to be ready to read. It was an entertaining read.

[Wenzel Roessler · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's an exciting roller coaster Hollywood style plot. Extremely interesting characters, I feel the biggest knock of the book, though, is the dialogue. When someone is talking to another character, they always use their name in the sentence. Every single time, it feels like. I feel like saying to the author, "Okay, Land. Enough of this Land". I get this Land."

every person has at least 2 but sometimes 7 aliases

Not too bad! It was pretty fast paced, but sometimes hard to follow simply because it was so fast the narrative jumped quickly from one section to the other.

simply wild.....implausible conspiracy...but hypnotic in its intensity.
