THE ROOK - Vol. Three

THE ROOK Vol. Three
By Barry Reese
Wild Cat Books
168 pages

He’s back, Atlanta’s own original pulp hero as created by Barry Reese, in another collection of six very exciting new adventures. The fun of Reese’s creation is how he is constantly pairing his beak-nosed avenger with classic pulp heroes from the golden days of the pulps. In this volume the Rook teams up with the Black Bat and criminologist Ascott Keane to take on the villainy of the red-garbed Dr.Satan.

Although the stories stand individually, they do form a narrative chain and in this volume the Rook takes on the growing threat of Hitler’s new super soldiers, each with his own unique scientifically altered abilities. But it is his confrontations with Dr.Satan that proved to me the most of fun this third outing. Reese clearly has fun with how he handles these old time baddies, giving each an obsessive drive to succeed in whatever their nefarious plans might be. They jump off the page and are truly part of the charm of his fiction.

There’s also plenty of action in the way of gun fights and knock-down, battering slug-fests between the minions of evil and the Rook and his own colorful allies. With this volume, Reese is three for three in the win column. His prose gets leaner and more confident with each new story he weaves, the sign of a real talent. Here’s hoping there are a lot more Rook adventures coming our way.

SEASON OF MADNESS

SEASON OF MADNESS (A Doctor Watson Adventure) by Aaron Smith

Airship 27 Productions and Cornerstone Book Publishers are thrilled to announce the release of a new novel starring Sherlock Holmes’ own beloved companion, Dr. Watson. This is the official sequel to the bestselling Sherlock Holmes – Consulting Detective, released earlier this year.

“After the overwhelming success of our Sherlock Holmes anthology, we knew bringing out a Dr. Watson book was a natural follow-up,” said Airship 27 editor, Ron Fortier. “Aaron Smith has turned in grand mystery, one we know Holmes fans will really enjoy.”

When a group of men and women throughout London begin exhibiting strange psychotic behavior, Dr. John Seward, from the Dracula affair, is brought into the case. Faced with a mystery beyond his realm of experiences, he turns to Sherlock Holmes’ trusted companion, Dr. Watson, for help. Together these two men of science must uncover the riddle behind a white powder drug with the ability to drive people mad before the entire population is infected.

An original, never before published mystery set against the backdrop of Victorian England by a master storyteller. Suspense and adventure await on every corner as two of literature’s most famous characters join forces to unravel a…SEASON OF MADNESS.

This book also contains a special bonus feature. THE ELECTRIC SHARK (A Hound-dog Harker Adventure). Introducing Quincy Harker of Her Majesty’s Secret Service in the first of a brand new adventure series. Harker and his friends face danger on the high seas as a long lost ship of scientific marvels returns to challenge all of mankind.

With interior illustrations by Pedro Cruz and a cover by Rob Davis and Shane Evans, SEASON OF MADNESS is another suspense filled Victorian thriller brought to you by
