Like Lions by Brian Panowich
5.0
Message to Putnam's : Stop f*cking around and publish this novel.
I've heard that Putnam's holding the publishing of Like Lions because they wanted a more conventional crime series out of Bull Mountain.
From what i've learned about Brian Panowich, he is nothing but unconventional.
Here's something Big Five should understand.
A series that produces a novel a year following the same MO from sequel to sequel can be fine. Ace Atkins does a great job in the Quinn Colson series in that area. But sometimes, letting the author use the world he created to see how the environment evolves and use other characters instead of the same protagonist over and over again is as good, if not better.
Unlike its predecessor, Like Lions is a linear told story - whereas Bull Mountain was told back and forth over the span of 6 decades - and it suits the story perfectly.
Clayton Burroughs is back, shattered, bruised and looking for redemption in the bottom of the whiskey bottle while Kate, Like Lions, keep everything together.
While the word on the street that the Burroughs are a thing of the past, lurkers and roamers don't take long to invade Bull Mountain and seek to take over the Burroughs operations.
One Burroughs isn't about to hand Eden's Kingdom without a fight.
