About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey’s fifth Sandman Slim adventure.

James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, has lost the Qomrama Om Ya, an all-powerful weapon from the banished older gods. Older gods who are returning and searching for their lost power.

The hunt leads Stark to an abandoned shopping mall infested with tribes of squatters. Somewhere in this kill zone is a dead man with the answers Stark needs. All Stark has to do is find the dead man, recover the artifact, and outwit and outrun the angry old gods—and natural-born killers—on his tail.

But not even Sandman Slim is infallible, and any mistakes will cost him dearly.

Ratings and reviews

Like the other sandman novels(not counting the 1st) it repeats its self alot, So reading them back to back might not be such a good idea. But never the less still a fun read.

Not the most action packed book in the series. it seems as though it's more of a "bridge" book leading to a expected climax in the next book in the series. Excellent character building and entertaining in every way. Truly looking forward to the next book. I'm certain that as always it will be amazing

But I liked it, good character development... which is the problem. Sandman Slim is a monster, a "antihero, a badguy. So when he only go's badass at the end it doesn't feel right. I'm still reading the next one though. :-)
