There's a lot of things going on in this. Also, it's sort of the fourth part of a mini series within this series. Yes this is book four, but it's all centered around the same mission. This one has Blade and one of his warriors take a woman and her child, Flathead Indians, to Kalispell, Montana to get medical equipment and see what has happened to the other Flatheads. Hickock, another warrior has to journey into the wastelands to find a runaway teen from The Home. The Home, where the warriors live is under threat from within from a warrior that wants to take over.
This one is never dull. Lots of action and suspense to keep it going. The one thing I wish they would of had more of was Gremlin and The Doktor. The Doktor created humanoids to do his bidding and Gremlin was one of them. Him and Blade go at it for a bit. This would of been a nice story line to follow more of. I'm sure it will surface sooner or later in the series.
Ännu en fullspäckad bok i en rätt underhållande serier. Blade, Geronimo, Hickok och de andra fortsätter på sin väg. Här får jag som läsare dock också lära känna några fler av karaktärerna i Hemmet, om än ytligt. Jag har svårt att inte dra på munnen åt Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Han ska vara en stor krigare men jag tänker bara på den där ettriga mungon jag såg i en tecknad film som barn. En film som jag älskade. Bokens Rikki verkar inte ha några likheter med filmens, och tur är väl det. Liksom i seriens tidigare böcker är det en hel del våld i denna, och sådant är ju underhållande när det handlar om fiktion, tycker jag.
This book is pulp through and through: The physical book feels like low quality, the writing is simplistic, the characters are flat as cardboard, and the plot is a paper thin excuse to move from one violent scene to the next. By every conceivable measure this is a bad novel, and yet, when I was a teenager I found it hugely entertaining.
Another of the series that I did not own when I was younger...
More of the same, for the most part, though this volume makes it feel like the series is beginning to pick up momentum.
Some odd decisions in this one - to make the Flathead indians such an evil group, Hickok so easily forgetting Bertha, the fact that the family has not returned to the Twin Cities as they have promised....
And thank goodness that the "traitor among us" subplot is over and done with. So much melodrama, so little payoff.
