Narration Conducive To Books Kill the Dead (Sandman Slim #2)
What do you do after you’ve crawled out of Hell to wreak bloody revenge? If you’re Stark you turn to bounty hunting, tracking and decimating whatever rogue monsters you’re paid to kill. Stark hates the work, but he needs the money, especially the big bucks Lucifer is offering. In town as an adviser on a biopic of his life, Lucifer needs protection, and he wants Stark as his bodyguard. But the gig isn’t all bad; there is the very sexy, very hot French porn star Brigitte Bardo, a friend of Lucifer’s in LA to remake her reputation as a legit actress. While it isn’t love, it’s pretty damn good, and after 11 years of demonic chastity, it’s enough for now.Stark has enough trouble juggling a diva devil and a scorching French bombshell without a zombie plague to complicate matters. And just what happens when a human-angel half-breed is bitten by the living dead? His human side begins to die, transforming him into an unstoppable angel of death—a killing machine devoid of emotion or thought, with no regrets or future to worry about. Not a bad way to be when your choices are limited. Now, Stark has to decide . . . if he does finds a cure for the zombie infection, will he take it?

KILL THE DEAD started strong, then went wayward for a good while. About 65-70 percent of the way in, I had the notion this was a 3-star book in my hands, a good read, but not as good as the first Sandman Slim. Then Kadrey threw it into overdrive. He put his foot to the floor, and ramped this sucker up to 4.5 stars; so, I give it a solid 4-star grade. He even toyed with 5 stars by the end (yeah, he shook things up that much), but Stark's inability to say one sentence like a normal person, justKill the Dead is the second book in the Sandman Slim novels. You can find the review for the first book, Sandman Slim here. As with the first book, Kill the Dead involves Angels and Demons but this time the threat the walking dead, otherwise known as various types of zombies. The problem however is that the reader is not really made aware the the zombies are indeed the "big bad" in this book until Stark suddenly had to deal with them.Unlike Sandman Slim, Kill the dead, is really quite
In this second novel in the Sandman Slim series, it has been six months since James Stark escaped from Hell to get revenge on the magicians who sent him there. Having achieved this purpose he has since drifted, taking on odd jobs as a supernatural hit-man to pay for the booze, cigarettes and all the clothing he trashes every time he walks out the door. He is both entertained and annoyed by the notoriety he has attracted in the supernatural world that lives in Los Angeles, so when Lucifer comes
3.5 Zombie-spine-ripping-starsThis series is ripe with humour, guts and evil machinations and has the potential to become one of my favorite UF series.Kadrey is a hell of a writer and I can't wait to see where he takes this merry band of donut loving misfits.
Smile from ear to earThis being the 2nd book in Kadrey's ongoing uf series was solid. We get an aside from the main story thread filled to the rim with fast paced action, sherlockesque plot twists, and some sick and twisted fun for the whole family. Throughout the mayhem we learn more about Stark, and the current situation in hell. To be dealt with I'm assuming in book 3. We meet new characters, and watch the old ones mature. Since Stark can travel via shadow or gta the setting shifts from
James Stark (a/k/a Sandman Slim) is back, and has to save L.A. from an infestation of zombies by determining who has unleashed them -- perhaps the Sub Rosa? Meanwhile, Lucifer has come up and asks Stark to act as his bodyguard as Lucifer is consulting on a film, including a new female character, Brigitte Bardo, a Czech gypsy porn star, whose real purpose in life is to kill zombies. Things get pretty interesting after she gets bitten, and has to be frozen while Stark tries to find a way to save
I was just complaining about unoriginal urban fantasy when Sandman Slim came along to show me it is possible to do UF right. Kadrey's writing manages to rope me in despite lukewarm genre interest in angel-demon based urban fantasy. The plot sounds unexceptional enough: Richard Stark, the ultimate noir anti-hero, has gone to Hell and back. He's now freelancing for Lucifer, as well as the competition, an arch-angel working with the government. The feds want his input on a murder scene, while
