Cade wasn't a complicated man. He didn't care about people. But one of the people he did care about was in trouble and he had to help. Cade travels to a post-apocalypse San Francisco - peopled with maniacs and cannibals - to find help for his companion. There he must use nothing but his two fists and a hunting knife to find the one thing that may save his friend.

About the Author
Al Ewing was born in 1977, three days before Elvis died on the toilet. Indoctrinated into the loathsome practice of comics at an early age by his disreputable brother, the child progressed from his innocent beginnings to the loathsome depths of sin represented by the British comic 2000AD, long known as a haunt of depravity. He remains esconced there to this day as a writer of the bizarre and fantastic, when not involved in even more sordid past-times. Death GOt No Mercy is his third penny dreadful.

2 AND ½ STARS
Although this books has the hands down best book cover in 2010, this is only just an average read. This is my first experience with Al Ewing and it is apparent that he has quite a vicious streak in him, describing some rather brutally shocking events. However, without those spontaneous explosions of raw violence, the story, in the end, was fairly standard in regards to a post apocalyptic tale that felt uneven in its pacing. You have the redneck ambushes, the crazy priest with his growing cult, and the main character who must trudge through the violent chaos to retrieve medicine for his female love interest or she will inevitably die. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff here, but Ewing has a knack for penning credible action sequences and putting his protagonist through the very tunnels of a painful hell. I was surprised at the number of typos the book had, especially since the last Abaddon title I read had only a couple, if that. I never understand why simple mistakes are left in a book - a short book at that - since all you need to do is read over the material once before it goes to the printer. The ranting of the main character's imaginary friend was grating on the nerves and the constant religious speeches by an equally annoying preacher made this a tough book to finish at times. The personality of Cade, the protagonist, is the only reason to keep reading. He's a layered, ultra-violent character that lives by his own harsh rules in a land of chaos. And although his actions are certainly barbaric, you begin to discover that there is a twisted, heroic method to his madness. While I can't quite give this a recommendation, apocalyptic fanatics should enjoy it.
