WOW, A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION FOR JAMES WALLACE AND I LIKE IT!!!!!!!

WOW, was a great book to have from you very gifted Author. This book is definitely off the track from his last series, which I will say "is still my number love", but this book brings much needed romance, into a book filled with blood and gore, just the way I like it. Sergeant Dan Welko of the Seattle PD, is definitely a no nonsense kind of guy and meets the love of his life, in a world much filled with death. With his friend Bri at his side, who's had his back more times than even he can count, they do what they can to find the ultimate killer, before the killer gets to them and those they love. James Wallace wrote another great story and it looks like maybe it will a sequel to boot, well, we can at least hope. Highly recommend this book to all, no disappointments here and one shocking ending, I loved it.....

This is the story of Dan before his adventures begin in the Theorem world, full of confidence, swagger and lots of macho, a story where he finds love, teams up with Brian, and meets so many of his friends - Apache, Kuppers, Cupcake, and the lists go on. A classic murder detective mystery full of gruesome deaths, exciting chase scenes, forensic science (by some fun brothers), drug dealers, mobsters and lots of humor and banter. Keep your kleenex handy. This is James Wallace at his best. I loved it!

Silly Superman Saga

Dan is a super man. Super macho, super cop, super soldier, super smart, super sexy, super annoying. A serial killer and the killer's apprentice are determined to take Dan down.Will he be up to the challenge especially since he has found true love?

This is a silky saga. Dan and his cohorts are too cartoonish to be believed and too serious to be fun. The killer is rather forgettable as far as serial killers go. The endless epilogues (okay three but really?) just punish the reader more. Super silly.

An excellent fast paced mystery thriller....the hunt for a serial killer, some gruesome murders, which the reader will love & hate...Wallace brings includes some of his best loved characters from his other Theorem series'....as always, the banter between them adds humor. James Wallace at his finest. A Must Read

Another awesome story with Dan, Brian and some of the crew we grew to love in The Zombie Theorem series. I loved the addition of the new character Ricky. This book is full of non-stop action with lots of machismo thrown in plus the usual humour. I'm looking forward to reading more books by James Wallace. I highly recommend reading this authors books, he tells great stories.

Excellent

This book was filled with so much action and excitement that I couldn't put it down. The main characters were interesting and the dialogue between them was humorous! I wanted to hang out with them even through all the bullets flying! I can't wait to read more from this very talented author.

Good suspenseful thriller

This book was filled with the brotherhood forged on the battlefield. ..Loved the bonds and humor between the men. The story was interesting with a great twist at the end.

Roller coaster of fun! This book has so much action and suspense but what gets me is the fun twists and turns it takes along the way. I love Dan and the guys and this is a bit of a different take than the other Theorem books that it was just, you know fun.
