Book Review: Awesome Dark Angel Continuance

Summary: 4 Stars
Max Guevera, mayor? Seems unlikely, but the defactor head of Terminal City is what she has become, it appears. She is also a big fan of Jonathon Swift.
Things start looking up, as the serial killer in the last episode, a shapeshifter, actually ended up taking out Logan's virus.
However, a gang then kidnaps Logan, and things go crazy.
It seems that the problem with centuries-spanning breeding cults, is, well, that they are a cult. Made up of people. With politics, power plays, etc.
The transgenics do not have this issue, and are able to use factional splits, and even Ames White, via his missing son, to cause a lot of problems for the Familiars.
Freaky prophecies about comets bringing death plagues are perhaps not too likely, either, they should keep in mind for the future.
A fun book.
Book Review: Book clears up many of the loose ends...
Summary: 4 Stars
The book read like an episode of the series-I could almost hear the characters speak as I read. However, the author relies on his other two books for themes and situations, instead of the series (which I guess you might expect from the third book in his trilogy), but he gives enough background so that the reader isn't lost by not having read his other two books. All-in-all, the book gives at least some closure to the abrupt end of the series--[...].Speaking of closure, the book left wanting more. Other reviews have called the ending "lame". Maybe the author was setting us up for another book. But seeing that his contract was for only three books, I doubt it. Since no other books are likely in the works, the author needed to add an epilog to explain the ending. Who knows, maybe someday he will.

Book Review: The saga continues...
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was pretty cool. Max Allan Collins was commissioned to write three books initially so this will be his last one, and probably the series last one if it doesn't sell well. Unlike 'Skin Game', it wraps up most of the loose ends from the show. What the snake cult is after? What part Max plays? It still leaves a couple of items open and even throws an unexpected curve at the end. Overall, not a bad addition to the Dark Angel collection, but it probably isn't Collins best work as he cut it short (about 260 pages, he was probably trying to get the contract over with) and it occasionally shows that he's not a big Dark Angel fan or 'true believer' as Stan Lee would say. Worth buying for hardcore fans.Book Review: Finshing up the series nicly
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It did a really nice job of finishing the series of Dark Angel and all the things we didn't get to see. I could actually picture what happened in this Novel really happening in the series. So I would highly recommend this Novel if your looking for closure for the short run series of Dark Angel which in my personal opinion second season was much better then the first so in true second season fashion this book takes us into the Dark Angel world and its a really fun ride.
