He’s Got The Power!

Jimmy Coates: PowerWhile browsing the monsters’ bookshelves, I came across another novel written by one of our captive number – Jimmy Coates: Power by Joe Craig.  Now, I’ve long been a fan of the incredible Master Coates, so I was eagerly anticipating his latest outing – and let me tell you that Power is exactly the right title for our hero’s sixth adventure, because this book has it in spades!

From the spine-tingling opening where we find Jimmy trying to spread the truth about the government through what is almost certainly the most exciting action sequence a book has ever seen (I won’t give anything away, suffice to say it involves helicopters and a very long bandage!) and beyond, this book will have you gripped, page after page. Bomb plots, stolen TV broadcasts and double-crosses galore – this novel has them all!

I know there’s another Coates book on the way soon – Jimmy Coates: Blackout in April – followed by the final adventure in October.  I just hope the monsters are letting Joe work on them.  I don’t want to have to wait any longer than absolutely necessary for my next adreniline top-up!

Oy! Donby! Sling it over here1 Sounds just like my thing… Or should I start at the beginning with the first one?

Start with the first one. I accidentally read the fourth in the series first – but it makes a lot more sense starting at the beginning.

I agree, start at the beginning and work your way through.

Although I did somehow manage to miss out the second book without initially realising what I’d done. Now I need to skip back and read book two.

Eeediot!
