http://nhw.livejournal.com/194474.html[return][return]A novel about Johnny Alpha, hero of the Strontium Dog series, being sent on a quest by sinister criminals who have fallen out with each other, with a bunch of other mutants. It reads in style very much like a Doctor Who novel (Levene used to edit the New Adventures series) but of course with much more freedom to experiment with the setting. Good characterisation, with means and motivation of each of the characters individually entirely consistent with the setting (rare in books of this genre). Good fun as well, and not too demanding; perhaps I'll look out for more Strontium Dog next time I'm in the comics shop. I'll certainly look out for more Rebecca Levene.
