4.0 out of 5 stars Dark, depressing, you'll have a great time, August 9, 1998

This review is from: A Gathering Evil (Dark Conspiracy) (Mass Market Paperback)

Waking up in a body bag with amnesia, that can't be a good sign, but this is the first sign Tycho Caine recieves to an impending adventure. Tycho finds himself in Phoenix, Arizona, a dark and despressing city surrounded by a cape by the name of Frozen Shade. He qucikly finds himself to be a major pawn in a game for the calling of the Dark Ones into our world. He joins a band of agents of a person referred to by the name Coyote, Not only does Tycho have to stop whatever is trying to enter our dimension he also discovers he's the primary target for a traitor in the ranks of Coyote's group. The book is a little hard to get into, but once you're there you'll have a heck of a time. Stackpole builds a dark, depressing world and a plot that is kind of a hybrid of Blade Runner and Call of Cthulhu. This is truly a gripping book, if you like dark cyberpunk thrillers this is a good one to pick up.

5.0 out of 5 stars cover blurb says it all, August 20, 1998

This book has got to have the best cover blurb of all time (get a copy and see!)

This is one of Mr Stackpole's better books. One of the few I've read more than once. Depressing, realistic, detailed and exciting. It's also based on a game which really exists, called Dark Conspiracy.
