“The
Action Never Slows Down.”
Twenty-six years after
the death of Brandon Drake, his son B.J. dons the armor of The Interceptor.
Brandon had died fighting his inner-self, The Scorpion, but now B.J. is called
upon to resurrect Brandon’s good side, The Interceptor when an end-of-the-world
cult, the Children of Tomorrow, cause worldwide disasters of apocalyptic
horror.
The first three novels were written in
Saturday Matinee cliffhanger style, each story ending with a thrilling
cliffhanger (think Commando Cody). But this story is a stand-alone novel. Still,
the novel is awash with the old matinee action and sudden danger to our hero
and heroine. The suit is equipped with jets in the shoes, lasers in the hands,
and robotic strength and speed. B.J. doesn’t have the hang ups that hampered
his father’s Dr, Jeckle-Mr. Hyde (Interceptor-Scorpion) situation. Although he
feels that his father is within him. This time the world must come together in
support of The Interceptor if the planet is to survive, for this time the
religious cult has technology on its side, and is as powerful as the world’s mighty
superhero.
Call it comic book prose,
or pulpy fiction, if you like, but this novel has the making of a good action
movie, as well as a graphic novel series. In fact, we are told in the story
that movies and comic books resulted from Brandon Drake’s earlier career. Plus
we even have a song written for this latest book. And whatever you call the
book, you have to admit there is never a slow down in the action. Highly
recommended.
