Cotton Colinaude is a man desperate for redemption, cursed with a dual identity. As the Eidolon, his heroic career seemed doomed from the start. Over the course of a decade, his struggle will define the destiny of history for an entire city, and perhaps mankind itself. From his partnership with Godsend to the mentorship of William Tekamthi, the villainous Viper, the informant Ratbeard, and the tragic Calypso, Colinaude's journey embraces a large cast of unforgettable characters, but none more so than himself. For a man who long ago dedicated his life to others, can his be saved? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It's hard to do a plot summary because so much of the plot is murky. When it starts off there's a Batman-type hero named Cotton Colinaude who goes by the hard-to-pronounce handle Eidolon. (I was glad to be listening to this on the Kindle so I would know how to actually say it.) There's another hero called Godsend who's a Superman-type. Godsend does not approve of the Eidolon's methods, especially as he goes after someone referred to as "the Cad."
And then...I have no idea. The middle section seems similar to Grant Morrison's "Batman R.I.P." though I think this book predates that. Then it turns into the Iliad. Throughout it there's a lot less action than you would expect and far more philosophical rambling.
To say something positive, it's obvious the author spent a lot of time assembling the world's mythology. There's a lot of background information on the characters and the city of Traverse, Alabama. There just needed to be less background and less philosophy.
That is all. ( )
