I don't know how I missed writing this review?
anyway... just went and flipped back through it, and it really is as enjoyable as I remember. It's not the first book in the series, but it's the only one I've read so far. It works pretty well on its own, although I'm sure it would be a little easier to follow if I'd read the first book first.
Kal has faked his own death in order to escape his job in the BSI (Bureau of Supernatural Investigations). He really REALLY wants to kill the monster that murdered his sister. It's a fairly original story (and even the time-traveling Nazis don't seem out of place... how is that even possible?) with so much vividly described action that I kind of wish it could be turned into a movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I will be looking for the first book in the series to read. And look forward to more of them.

In the very beginning, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it actually wasn't that bad. The feeling didn't last long.

At first it was just okay. Even when they suddenly introduced time travel (totally bizarre), it was doing all right. But it got old fast.

All four main characters are exactly the same. Violent, think their tough as nails, and very flat. You can tell the author tried to give them some depth in various scenes, but it just comes across as rather ridiculous.

Which is the perfect word for the entire book: ridiculous. Mark Everett Stone is constantly referencing all kinds of things (Stargate, Addam's Family, MacGuyver), which comes across as kind of tacky and implies that you can't describe things yourself. One or two mild references are fine, but please, don't go overboard.

And then, since we were time traveling, we had to meet multiple famous people of the past. J.R.R Tolkein, Ian Fleming's brother, and various infamous Nazis.

The book would've been all right if it hadn't been so long, but like I said, it got old -really- fast. ( )

I didn't read the first book in the series so it took me a little while to play catch up with the storyline and the way the perspective changes every few chapters. The action and characters make this book a gripping one that you just can't put down. I ( )

Blood, violence, superhuman Nazis, a kick ass elite squad of paramilitary fighters....very entertaining. I have not read the first in this series, so I was missing some back story going in, but I don't feel it was a huge detriment, you catch up. I loved the Nazi plot, but felt like the bookend was boring. Kal and his team are fighting necromancing Nazis...do you really need the giant sea monster. Although, the pit fighting in an alternate world was pretty cool too....could have read a couple more chapters about that. Overall, really entertaining! ( )
