JACK WAKES UP coverRATING: Five out of five Sigs.

While I admit I don't read many books that don't include monsters, genetics, space and/or goth schoolgirls, Seth Harwood's JACK WAKES UP
is on the "must play" playlist on my iPod.

Now I don't read much in this genre, so I'll compare it to some movies. If you like PULP FICTION and/or CHINATOWN, I think you'll dig it.

Harwood's strength is character creation and development. Jack Palms, the main character in the series, has a fantastic backstory that helps justify the strange choices he makes during the books. He's really go no options but to partake in seedy underworld of San Francisco's crime scene, and he's not smart enough to realize the full ramifications of what he's doing. Palms gets through with a combination of acting skill, physical prowess, luck and a "by gosh" attitude that lets him use self-delusion to slide from one incident to the next.  

Guns, broads, fast cars and crime. Can't go wrong. 

JACK WAKES UP is available soon in print from Breakneck Books.
