A review by depizan
Shield of the People by Marshall Ryan Maresca

3.0

The description is...not inaccurate, but it is somehow misleading. At least the actual story did not go at all as I expected from the description.

The conspiracy continues to be up to no good, on levels both large scale and personal to the heroes. The heroes continue to do their best to protect people, though it is never entirely clear whether their efforts are interfering with or accidentally helping the conspiracy (which most of them aren't aware even exists).

One thing I do have to give full points for here, is that the conspiracy is made up of people who really do think they're doing the right thing. These are very much villains who are the heroes of their own stories. It's also increasingly clear that they're not as united in focus as they think they are. Which is interesting. And I can't wait see how this whole thing eventually resolves.
