From the flames of tragedy, a hero rises! In the roaring heart of the crucible, steel is made. In the raging flame of personal tragedy, men are sometimes forged into something more than human. Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until the fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and daughter and turned him into something more than human. Driven by loss, compelled by grief, The Avenger is a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. This collection features new prose stories of The Avenger by such luminaries as Will Murray, Robin W. Bailey, Matthew Baugh, Joe Gentile, Paul Kupperberg, Howard Hopkins, Mark Ellis, Ron Fortier, and David Michelinie.

The Justice Inc Files from Moonstone is a fantastic book. From the Geist cover to the final tale, editors Joe Gentile and Howard Hopkins present new tales both Kenneth Robesons would be pleased with.
In fact, one Kenneth Robeson, Will Murray, pens a tale in this tome. "The Changeling" is typical Murray, class and suspense all the way. The stories presented in this book are:
The Flames of Tragedy
East Wind, Rain
Invisible Empire
Vengeance, Inc
Whiteout
Happy Death Men
Vengeance is Mine
The Devil's Workmen
The Breath of Destruction
Devil's Dark Harvest
Snow Blind
The Changeling
The Medicine Murders
The Blood Moon
Having read every tale in the book, I am very impressed with the variety of themes, and insight into Richard Benson. The origin of Mike and Ike, is very compelling. Happy Death Men, Vengeance, Inc and Snow Blind are just three of my top 5 in this collection.
Fans of pulp, and fans of the Avenger SHOULD buy this book. A hidden hero, is a dead hero. The Avenger will always live!

Once again, the fine folks at Moonstone Books have chosen an excellent selection of stories for this latest anthology, the second featuring the Avenger, the pulp hero created by Paul Ernst (but published under the house name Kenneth Robeson, the same one used by Lester Dent and the other authors who wrote the Doc Savage stories), and his able companions, Justice Inc. All 15 stories are well worth reading and show different facets of Benson, a man driven by justice after great personal loss. The most impressive thing to me about these stories is how character-driven they are and how much they flesh out the Avenger, whose pre-heroic background was alluded to many times in the original stories. As with several of Moonstone's publications involving pre-existing properties, this collection has stories involving the Avenger encountering other pulp adventurers, with the most obvious examples being Win Scott Eckert's "Happy Death Men", a team-up with the Domino Lady, also containing several allusions to other pulp, novel, and comics characters (also, apropos of nothing, my favorite story in the book), and David Michelinie's "The Blood Moon", which has Benson teaming up with the Spider to face the most fearsome vampire of them all. Moonstone is one of the leading lights of the current wave of pulp revivals, and this excellent anthology is further proof of that, in the unlikely event anyone doubted that.

The fine folks at Moonstone have put together another winner with this one. They assembled some great talent, thus paving the way for a great read. The Avenger is right up near the top of my all time favorite Pulp heroes. This book packs a wallop with Avenger action that I know and love.
