Threat Warning by John Gilstrap
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My third run of a Jonathan Graves tale and again get the feeling of a comic book without capes and super powers. The super villains are there again!
This is certainly a fun tale with tons of action and adventure. There are a number of troubles, though. First, this is almost too much like the novel preceding this one. The location is different and the problems are a bit different. But the resolution is nearly identical. There are also some odd happenings in the book that don’t make sense. In particular, there is one character that dramatically pivots from one stance to another.
I can set all of that aside viewing this in a more surrealistic comic book way. With that thought, this story is full of characters that are a bit bigger than life. Those written less than that get lost in all else going on. The settings are written with detail as needed. That adds a plus to this book: All of the excess baggage found in most all books being written today is not in this. Gilstrap does a great job keeping the story focussed and moving at a strong pace.
Overall this book for those looking for comic book adventure. High brow literary levels are not to be found here.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 5 out of 5 points.
