I am feeling a little sad about John Sandford lately. Extreme Prey is #26 in the Lucas Davenport series that I have loved from the start. Okay. Now I am feeling a little better! I just read that there is a Virgil Flowers book coming out this year! There wasn't one last year and that made me SUPER sad. I thought that maybe Flowers was all done.
Sandford has made his way into the YA fiction gang with the series Singular Menace that he has written with Michelle Cook. I couldn't get into it, but I will probably try again. He also wrote Saturn Run last year, that came out when Virgil usually does, which is what scared me. He wrote that with Ctein. I don't know who Ctein is, but I wonder if, in the science fiction world, Ctein is like Elvis or Dolly or Judy. Oh wait! Ctein is a photographer! So I really don't want to listen to Saturn Run, I will have to read it!
Anyway...there is more political intrigue in Extreme Prey, which has been in some Lucas books and I wondered if he was taking Lucas in this direction. I wasn't sure how I, personally, would like that, because I am not a political thriller kind of reader. Not to say that they wouldn't be good! It just isn't my thing. But then, the end of Extreme has a REALLY good new direction for Lucas and I am SUPER excited about it. Especially now that I know that Virgil is back, too.
