Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Perdition Score: A Sandman Slim Novel Hardcover by Richard Kadrey



This is book seven of the Sandman Slim novels and sadly it is the first one I have read.  I am amazed how many good series escape my notice.   This is the story of a half angel who goes to hell and back to better the world.

Jim Stark, never Jimmy, is Sandman Slim and there was minimal back story to give a hint as to how he is a half angel or how he was Lucifer and many more references to his past with out a clue as to their origins.

Candy is a Jade, whatever that is and is Stark's love.  

This is a strange mix of hoodoo magic, hellion stuff and guns and ammo.   The good guys are not so good and the bad guys are worse.  

I enjoyed the book but would have enjoyed it more with a detailed back story.  I guess I need to dig the previous six books out and find out how Stark became who and what he is.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
