Hang Wire

Hang Wire by Adam Christopher, 373 pages


This is one of those books that has four or five story lines that slowly converge in a finale. That makes for a slow and somewhat confusing start. To make it worse there is also a time element to give us more historical events. I honestly almost put this book aside as I had made it through 80 pages or so and still had no idea what the plot was, just that it involved a serial killer or two.

For those that might be interested in the book that basic plot is as follows. A retired immortal is trying to live peacefully on Earth but an ancient evil presence keeps trying to destroy the world.
The book is set up to be a thriller/suspense but only somewhat delivers. There are too many "and this will destroy the world" events going on make it believable and honestly how many books end with "and then the world was destroyed"? So we know good will prevail which takes some of the excitement out of it.
