Mark of the Shadow by Walter B. Gibson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love how Gibson winds and blends The Shadow into a story. It’s so well done. This story is well done, but there are logic issues with it. The Reader, knowing of The Shadow’s abilities has to be perplexed when Gibson uses him in some places and not others. If “The Shadow knows” then The Shadow could have solved this mystery within a hand full of pages and the book would have been done. Alas, surely Gibson had page number requirements and so he cheats the reader and prolongs the story.
Further adding to prolonging is something named “CYPER”, another literary device to add pages but never any real explanation and questions at the end.
Overall I like the story and loved The Shadow, so i will set aside these issues.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
