Review: This guy can write. (Meant as the compliment it truly is...)

Mr. Hayes tells a strong, complex, and deeply intriguing tale. He has mastered the almost impossible task of weaving many many individual characters seamlessly into one extremely well thought out plot. The one aspect I find most compelling is my complete inability to predict where the story is going next - which is quite an achievement. I probably read as much as I breathe, and finding an author who can craft a story I am unable to predict is a true gem. At the same time, I find myself in the odd predicament of not desiring the demise of any of the characters. Even in my own books there is the occasional urge to drown one of my characters in caterpillars or have them run over by a train. (Hey, just because I write them, doesn't mean I like them) Even the 'bad guys' of this series are compelling.This not your run of the mill super hero book. Neither is it a simple or easy read. Merely attempting to follow the logic and strategy of Nick is worth the price of admission. Settle in for a good, long, thoughtful read. This guy can write.
