The plain man
by Steve EnglehartMagick and reality collide in a new, fast-paced Max August thrillerMax August is not invulnerable, but he never ages—a gift he earned while studying under the legendary alchemist Cornelius Agrippa.
August, now an alchemist himself, is using hi.
It reads like things are happening fast but, nothing really happens. The characters are kind of interesting but they don't do anything interesting.
Many people thought Cheney ran the country during the Bush 43 presidency. However, that would be far from the truth.
I'm giving it three starts instead of two because I did not realize this was book #3 when I bought it (it was an impulse buy) but the story was easy enough to follow without having read the previous books. I'm not giving it more than 3 stars because I thought the narrative was dry and the scenes were set-up as if I were watching a TV series.
About Steve Englehart
See also John Harkness.Steve Englehart went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. Strange, and a dozen other titles. Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry.He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).After that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern [with Joe Staton], Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.And once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane.In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney....
