King Bullet by Richard Kadrey

4.0

It's a strange feeling that I know that there will be no more Sandman Slim books. And it's a strange book ending the saga. It becomes clear that after the familiar atmosphere of the first half of the book, the second half becomes more or less a preparation for a final goodbye. For Stark and for the reader also. So in a way, it was hard for me to get through the second half, knowing the inevitable end is closing in. Still, it is a thoroughbred Sandman Slim story, a real page-turner, high-octane action, and sarcastic conversations included. I mourn a little bit but also I am happy that I was part of the ride.
