Sandman Slim aka James Stark is at it again. James is
half-
human, half-angel and all attitude. James is a man who
has
told both the devil and God to their faces where to put
it.
Now as a new evil descends upon the city of L.A. Stark is
forced once again to use his charming whit, mad skills and
fast thinking to save the world. Stark, who was the acting
devil down in hell for a while, will now put all of his
abilities to the test trying to stop the battle of the
Gods
from beyond. These Gods were banished by our God himself
when he created us.
Unfortunately Stark has his work cut out for him. Not only
is an evil force trying to enter our realm, but God
himself
is fractured and fighting among the fractured parts. The
killer St. Nick is back and he may be the only person who
can help Stark put an end to the madness, if only he
wasn't
the one person Stark hates the most and would love to kill
again.
James Stark's Sandman Slim, is one of the best characters
ever created. He is a smart mouthed, fast thinking, hard
loving bad ass, who will do whatever he has to do to keep
him and those he cares about alive and safe, if he saves
the world in the process, so be it.
Sandman Slim is a
character you can't help but love and fear for the day his
story ends. He will say or do anything; one of his closest
friends is the disembodied head of a man he killed when he
got back from hell the first time. Sitting down with a
Sandman Slim novel is like eating all you want and
not
gaining an ounce. He is deliciously crazy.
THE GETAWAY GOD is another great addition to the
Sandman
Slim series and ties up many of the ongoing problems
facing James and his friends. I have faith though that
Richard Kadrey can think up more messes for James to get
into because the poor guy just can't get a break.
Read THE
GEATAWAY GOD and you will love it but pick up the first
five books and read them, your behind the great book
curve if you're just starting now.
A half-human, half-angel with a bad rep and a worse
attitude—we are talking abuout the former Lucifer here—James
Stark, aka Sandman Slim, has made a few enemies. None,
though, are as fearsome as the vindictive Angra Om Ya—the
insatiable, destructive old gods. But their imminent
invasion is just one of Stark's problems, as L.A. descends
into chaos, and a new evil stalks the city.
No ordinary killer, the man known as St. Nick takes Stark
deep into a conspiracy that stretches from Earth to Heaven
and Hell. Further complicating matters is that he may be the
only person alive who knows how to keep the world from going
extinct. He's also Stark's worst enemy—the only man in
existence Stark would enjoy killing twice—and one with a
direct line to the voracious, ancient gods.
