SOULSEARCHERS COMPANY, written by the award-winning Peter David (and Richard Howell). The Soulsearchers are a screwball team of
psychic investigators. The adventures usually have a satirical slant, but can be serious, too. Sometimes at the same time. I deliberately use the term "screwball," because the
interaction between the male lead (a fire demon from an Arabic Hell) and the female lead (a former olympic athlete, with a magic vaulting pole . . . no, really) is reminiscent of
the old screwball comedies: witty, barbed, and very funny dialogue. Any comics fan with a sense of history will recognize the artists: Dave Cockrum and Jim Mooney. Need I
say more?

this is a good book.if you are formilliar with peters work from the hulk and aquaman aswell as spyboy and a litlne of other comicbooks, you will like this. he is an excallent writer. he has done a lot of star treck books aswell. so if you are formilliar with his work from that you aswell know what i mean when i commend his writing abilities. he is funny, witty, and serious in the same page, or at least he can be, and do a good job of it. if you are a fan of comic books and never read any of his stuff as well as star treck fans, now is the time to discover him. he is good at what he does. buy this book.
