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 I had no idea, January 29, 2012

This review is from: A Gathering Evil (The Dark Conspiracy Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)

Before I started reading, all I knew about this book was that it was written by Stackpole and I had read the one line description. The book starts out great and, though it quickly gets really weird (for someone who has no idea what is coming), it's very enjoyable. I particularly like the setting and probably would have read an entire book just on that. I loved that the one really predictable event in the book had a very unpredictable conclusion.
