I have had a blast reading/listening to these books from Michael Head. I laughed out loud many times throughout the book and I love the characters. I would love to see a little more distinction and character growth in the other characters. They need more of their own idiosyncrasies to give them a greater depth but that is the only thing that I think Michael needs to work on. I love the main character Jim and I can see parts of michael as a Veteran soldier in his actions, where he is not that typical dumb character that defeats someone and leaves loot and weapons lying around then cries later because they don’t have a weapon. He is all about efficiency which makes me chuckle as he loots a former enemy. I can still here him character in my head even now. “Yup, you don’t need that, or the that. That’s shiny, I’ll take that too, thank you kindly you probably won’t need it anymore, you know being dead and all. You totally had a bad.” Oh gosh it’s the best. Finally a smart leading character. I will read all of his books and sadly this means that there are only three as of right now. Write faster Michael these are fantastically awesome books. If you need a beta I’m in my truck raising my hand. Pick me! Pick me!
So after all that if you don’t start with Threads of Fate you will sorely luck out. So don’t be a stupid red robe and read his books.
