It's been several years since the Phoenix Tower came down and the A-Men split. Dead City is a shadow of its former self: an urban wasteland and the centre of the sort of gang warfare that finds and exploits drugs and hopelessness with a ruthless talent.
Expect blood, gore, bodily fluids, sweat, toil and tears. And many rude words. The book isn't all dark though and there's a seam of black humour running through which I appreciated. Occasionally, I felt there was just too much going on - the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, and next door's sink to boot - and there was a slight loss of focus. But some may actually feel this is a good thing. And there is a great deal to like about this book - it's funny and horrific and its people are as credible as the plot will allow. If you like your fiction hardboiled, this book is for you.
I thoroughly enjoyed ''The A-Men Return''. Energetic and graphic, it will find many followers in fans of the genre - although perhaps it's just that bit too busy for the lay reader. We also have a review of Trevillian's [[The A-Men by John Trevillian|The A-Men]].
