Iron Angels by Alistair Kimble, Eric Flint

firox1566's review against another edition

1.0

Was halfway through this book and didn't even really know what it was about. The characters are chasing something and still don't even know what.

I made it to Chapter 12, about page 90. Which is compelling as this isn't my genre. But I would recommend it to those who enjoy monsters in Chicago.

2.0

This fantasy/horror police procedural had a reasonable plot and the authors seemed to put a lot of effort into snappy dialogue. Unfortunately, I found the banter fairly leaden and sometimes the fast paced action just seemed disjoint.

The setting and characters have promise, if the authors can do a better job with them.

X-Files gets mashed up with Lovecraft. It's not over the top, it's remotely plausible that this bizarre stuff is still secret, i.e. only a few victims, not large portions of cities going missing. One of the villains saves someone, so they aren't the typical super-evil types, indeed I would say that they are more than a bit crazy rather than purely bad. A decent read and the start of a series.

This is first in a new series with Eric Flint and newcomer Alistair Kimble. The action takes place in the Chicago area and it seems there is a cult kidnapping and sacrificing people to bring their god into our world. As Agent Jasper Wilde is joined by an agent out of the DC area that works for a division he has never heard of before they try and stop the cultists from killing anyone else and maybe stop whatever it is from coming into our world. They do find allies that have been fighting against these monsters for a long time and use their help to beat back the evil.

A solid good story and a nice beginning to what hopefully will be a long and fun series.
