Constantine finds himself with a group of new age hippies and seems happy but of course that never lasts long. They stumble onto a group that is tapping the ley lines in order to create fear and change the political parties in charge. John is on the run from them and also trying to get to get one of them back from the group that is using her mental powers to charge the fear machine. While on the trail he enlists some nonmagical allies that bring everything into focus but as usual nothing good happens to anyone that helps out Constantine. An ok story but didn’t leave me wanting to pick up the next volume as soon as I can.… (mehr)

As for the other stories, some are better than others. The longest, "Royal Blood", was also my least favourite. Which is unfortunate, but that's how it goes sometime.

As for the stories I enjoyed, "The Diary of Danny Drake" and "Guys and Dolls" are probably the stand outs. And they both come towards the end, so the collection ends on a high note.… (mehr)
