Finished Sunday Xmas Day 2011
This is an 'out of sequence' book in a series about the lead character, Charlie Hardie. After a particularly bloody and gruesome gun battle, Charlie is badly wounded, kidnapped, and taken to a secret underground installation. There he learns that not only must he become a guard in this mini-prison, but that he is the warden! Soon, he can't tell whether the guards are controlling the prisoners, or is it the other way around?
This is a novel which deals with the commanding, yet hidden power structure which pulls the strings behind governments, and the vast news and entertainment conglomerates. It implies that there are secret leaders of a vast, 'Shadow World' who are really in charge of world events. Charlie calls this group, "The Accident People", but they might only be the enforcement arm of this worldwide conspiracy of power.
The novel keeps your interest, and you can definitely feel the author's background in graphic novels.
