I thought the incorporation of characters and references to The Cape was both generous and clever. Obviously Alexander Maisey is a fan. I also thought the humanizing of the machinist was an interesting take on an otherwise common theme.What I was less excited about was the unnecessary and gratuitous swearing that was needlessly interjected into an otherwise very solid story beginning. For me, it just seemed out of place. The death of a hero is something I particularly found intriguing. After all, what does it take to kill a hero? A lucky shot? A bigger villain?For readers of The Cape series, I think you'll find the machinist a slight departure from the norm. Not in a bad way,but in a way that makes you read and look at The Cape from a different perspective, and in a good way.Share your thoughts on my opinion on Twitter @mfaculty or visit my site at [...]
