Product Description
Book Two of the popular Sleepers series stars the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott. It begins by disclosing origins of the first Green Lantern and reveals how he came to have his power ring and how he uses his powers to fight evil. In this installment, Scott enters World War II to fight a 17th-century supervillain named Malvolio, an anti-Green Lantern who wants to take over the world. Malvolio decides to cut a deal with Hitler that endangers the entire Allied campaign in Europe and the Pacific. Not one to think small, he is determined to eliminate the entire Green Lantern Corps, destroy Earth, and decimate all other worlds that have ever had the protection of a Green Lantern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Trouble, March 9, 2006

By	J. A. OMeara "Kentucky Yankee" (Lexington, KY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Green Lantern: Sleepers, Volume 3 (Hardcover)

After reading Book 2, I was not looking forward to finishing this trilogy. There are numberous flaws that are readily writen about in that book's review. However, I'm glad I got to Book 3.

As an long time comic reader, I enjoy the novelization of these heros, but only if they're taken seriously. The author met that criteria in this book. Those of us that know the Green Lantern stories from the 1980s through present day will love to see how the author respects the characters and situations. Those new to the stories will enjoy how the tale unfolds.

One caveat: you need to read Books 1 and 2 for the whole story to make sense. The author answers questions left by those two. However, not reading those two won't take away from the story's impact.

Enjoy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No simple read, June 27, 2007

By	Xan Meijer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Green Lantern: Sleepers, Volume 3 (Hardcover)

Priest delivers in usual 'more meat on the steak' fashion. The ride was worth the price of admission. A pity he isn't doing any current comic book work.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, March 5, 2008

By	James Collins "The World Dies Around Me" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Green Lantern: Sleepers, Volume 3 (Hardcover)

To me, these three books started it all within the novelizations of comics to, well novels. I was a little hesitant at first, because i really don't like kyle, but as the story progressed, i found myself sucked into these books and could not stop, if you read anything of green lantern(other then the johns story line in the comics) read these three books, you will not be disappointed.
