“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.
