THE GETAWAY GOD (Sandman Slim 6)

Richard Kadrey

Being a half-human, half-angel nephilim with a bad rep and a worse attitude—not to mention temporarily playing Lucifer—James Stark aka Sandman Slim has made a few enemies. None, though, are as fearsome as the vindictive Angra Om Ya—the old gods. But their imminent invasion is only one of Stark's problems right now. LA is descending into chaos, and a new evil—the Wildfire Ripper—is stalking the city.

No ordinary killer, the Ripper takes Stark deep into a conspiracy that stretches from Earth to Heaven and Hell. He's also the only person alive who may know how to keep the world from going extinct. The trouble is, he's also Stark's worst enemy . . . the only man in existence Stark would enjoy killing twice.

SANDMAN SLIM, the first novel, is under film option with Dino de Laurentiis Co. Rights to previous titles in this series have been sold in Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Russian.

New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey has published eight novels and more than fifty short stories. He has been immortalized as an action figure, his short story "Goodbye Houston Street, Goodbye" was nominated for a British Science Fiction Association Award, and his novel BUTCHER BIRD was nominated for the Prix Elkaban in France.

Comments

This series has kept its energy well, even six volumes in, partially owing to the stubborn character of Stark. He doesn't evolve, per se; he's still a rude and violent walking weapon, but he never makes the same mistake twice. Using humor to leaven the tumult, Kadrey shows that there are plenty of stories left to tell in Stark's world.
