First, let me say this: READ OMEGA by Jeremy and Kane Gilmour FIRST. This book, by necessity, has several major spoilers to that book.
Now, if you don't mind spoilers and simply want a GREAT introduction to one of the best single characters in modern fiction, pick up GUARDIAN even if you haven't read any other CHESS TEAM book.
In GUARDIAN, we see King being just that - a GUARDIAN - to Nebuchadnezzar's grandson (yes, that Nebuchadnezzar - as in, Daniel and the Lion's Den. Writing on the wall, etc etc etc). Now, if you're wondering how a modern super-Delta soldier is somehow in the time of an old Nebuchadnezzar... READ OMEGA!
Great twist on the monster tale, having a modern soldier go back in time to battle ancient monsters... and make some interesting discoveries along the way. Great introduction to who King is - leader, soldier, guardian, tactician, etc etc etc.
Looking forward to the next in the Continuum Series! :D
This is a great launch for a new series. The story ultimately goes in a direction that I didn't anticipate, and I loved that. Brilliant stuff! It's hard to say more without spoilers. I will say this: I have some fear that King's regenerative powers will become cartoonish like everything immortal in Highlander 2. But so far, I'm happy to say that's not happening. Wall to wall action, and no Wiley coyote hijinks. :-)
Can't wait for the next installment!
