Bravissimo to author Harry Shannon who steps in to take over the reins of the sixth entry, alongside the series' creators, Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin, in the entertaining DEAD MAN series. In this outing the series protagonist, Matt Cahill, finds himself being tracked down by a squad of Special Ops trained mercenaries who corner him in a small town in rural Nevada. Matt underwent an incident that changed his "life" drastically, and is now unique among the entire human race - and is racing to try to save all humanity from a potentially overwhelming evil, while himself being chased by those who variously wish to stop him and/or try and learn what makes him so unique and take that for themselves.Author Shannon very successfully integrates numerous traditional "Western" tropes into the novel, while, if anything, actually ratcheting up the action elements of the series. Shannon, a highly talented and versatile author here is expert in keeping tension taut and driving ever forward, and for the reader to keep turning to the next page, always excited and invested in finding out what happens next. Combining contemporary action with a nice spin on such classics as HIGH NOON and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN this novel is sheer enjoyment to read and well worth the extraordinarily reasonable price. A great addition to a unique, intriguing, and highly addictive new series.
