KILL CITY BLUES
SUMMARY
Another day, another apocalypse.
James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, has managed to get out of
Hell, renounce his title as the new Lucifer, and settle back into life in L.A.
But he also lost the Qomrama Om Ya, an all-powerful weapon from the banished
older gods. Older gods who are returning and searching for their lost power.
The hunt leads Stark to an abandoned shopping mall—a global
shopping paradise infested with Lurkers and wretched bottom-feeding Sub Rosa
families, squatters who have formed tight tribes to guard their tiny patches of
retail wasteland. Somewhere in this kill zone is a dead man with the answers
Stark needs. All Stark has to do is find the dead man, recover the artifact,
and outwit and outrun the angry old gods—and natural-born killers—on his tail.
But not even Sandman Slim is infallible, and any mistakes
will cost him dearly.
REVIEW
If you liked the previous Sandman Slim Books then you'll
love Kill City Blues, it's as simple as that.
Kill City Blues is dark, funny, and chalk full of kick butt
action. Stark has a new mission in this installment in the series, find
the Qomrama Om Ya and use it to stop the old gods from coming back and
killing everyone and everything. This mission breaths new life into the series
and revitalizes the energy of the story.
On top of that, readers will be pulled in from the first
page and wont be able to put it down until the last. Kadrey writes some of the
most disturbing and excellent action scenes out there and to say Kill City
Blues is full of them is an understatement.
Readers will enjoy seeing characters of all sorts from the
previous books in the series make an appearance, and will be especially
delighted to see Vidocq not have a sizable role again but also see him in
action.
Really all that you need to know is that Kill City Blues is
dark, disturbing, and full of action. This book is not for everyone but if
you've read and liked the previous books in the series then this is definitely
the book for you.
