Soledad "Bullet" O'Roark writes her own rules. Usually it gets her in trouble. On her first day with the L.A.P.D.'s elite Mtac squad, Soledad takes down an outlawed super-powered freak with a weapon she designed herself-a definite violation. Her love life is no less chaotic. It's hard to find a decent guy with nothing to hide. But there's not much room in Soledad's life for romance when a cop-killer is on the loose. The "baddest" freak of all, this one can control people's minds and make them commit anything he wants... including murder.

Von Grendel0606
Format:Taschenbuch
Die Welt, in der "those who wlak in darkness" spielt ist die der Superhelden und Schurken, die man aus Comics kennt, mti dem Unterschied, dass die Helden einmal nicht da waren , um San Francsico zu retten. Seitdem ist der Besitz von Superkräften illegal und spezielle Polizeieinheiten jagen di Suuperwesen. Die hauptfigur, Soledad, ist so eine Polizistin, die Helden hasst, und als sie einmal gegen Vorschriften verstößt, in Ärger gerät.
Die Idee ist interessant und realistisch (im vorgegebenen Rahmen) und der Autor schafft es, einen mitfiebern zu lassen, obwohl Soledad als Sympathieträgerin nur bedingt fungieren kann.

A movie treatment in book form
13. April 2004
Von Ein Kunde
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Leaving aside the plot holes and the lack of anything but the most cursory character development, the book is just badly written and in dire need of an editor. Long chapters of synopsis are combined with sentence fragments to create something that reads like a quickly dashed-off screenplay treatment. I'm sure the destruction of San Francisco and the various metahuman/cop battles will look great on screen, but as a book, this makes comic books look deep.

Bitter much?

Von Evan the Dweezil

I haven't seen this much pent up anger in a book since Order of the Pheonix. Soledad is an angry, two demensional, bigot who's a Mary Sue to top off the nastiness that exudes from her. Her coworkers are angry. The boyfriend is a nonentity. The Mutants (whom we get so little background about) seem to be the only faction in this story that have a right to be angry since they're being hunted down regardless of their personal histories.
Anger about Los Angeles. It's so plainly obvious that the author hates LA with a passion that makes his blood boil. Why, oh why, did he set it there? He even hates the nice days in town. I went to college in LA and know first hand that it's not like what appears on tv, but holy cats, this guy really doesn't like it. The pure venom in the narration makes it that much more difficult to put up with such borederline protagonists.
Also, is this a book or a script? The use of colons instead of verbs was simply poor form. I understand that Mr. Ridley is a tv writer, which is great, but he needs to understand that prose and scripts are different beasts, or his editor should be fired.
I picked up this book because it had a great title, which is the only thing that was any good about it.

Are the 'supes' bad or did we make them that way???

Von R. Kyle
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Soledad O'Roarke is a BAMF LA cop who specializes in killing supernaturals. When the supernaturals first came, they were heroes. An unfortunate accident changed that and now it seems they're rogues.
This is a dark and disturbing book. Seems like the whole class of supernaturals is branded here by one's failings. It's worth a read, but the hate for a whole class of people is just too darn close to Nazi Germany to make this more than a one-book affair for me.
