“Needs
Editing And Formatting”
Written in six chapters
– actually, six novelettes are probably more correct. They are: Rise Part 1,
Rise Part 2, Rise Part 3, Bloodline, The Body, and Shadow O’Mine. The story
takes place in fictional Dawn City, a city ruled by crime lords and drug gangs.
The Ghost had operated in the early days, I take it, but must return now in his
sixties, as drugs and flesh peddlers are running the city once more.
The paperback edition I
received didn’t have the titles on the cover, there was a lack of editing, and
of formatting, plus the author writes in short sentences, and it was poorly
written for all that. All of which is a shame, as the characters were fascinating
and the plots pretty good. The book needs to be professionally formatted and
edited, and it would help if the author took some writing courses. I think this
character could be a topnotch new pulp character, if given a chance.
