The Five by Robert R. McCammon
4.0
This was a fine effort by McCammon. I am a fan of his earlier stuff but this felt superior to that. If you're at all interested in the small music scene (roadies, traveling bands, classic rock 'n roll, etc.) this is a must-read.
In addition, although there are supernatural elements, they are handled very deftly and, while great, are not the main focus of the story. The plot focuses on a US vet with PTSD who fixates on the road band, seeing them as a threat and attempting to kill them one by one for their "transgressions."
The only con I have against this book (and it's a minor one) is that it could certainly be the forst book in a series. While the ending is fairly closed, there are some future paths tat could be followed if he so desired. As a stand-alone novel it does well and was very entertaining.
