Colour me impressed
Finished Marc Horne’s Tokyo Zero and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hoping that the frenetic pace wouldn’t let up and I wasn’t disappointed. Horne has crafted a good thriller here. There is plenty going on but the author very nicely weaves his prose in such a way that the reader doesn’t drown in detail. The back story is intriguing; so much so that a prequel would be very welcome. As an aside, the author’s references to 2000AD brought back some fond memories. And some not-so-fond…why did Hollywood have to run with a PG-certified Judge Dredd? Maybe, with all the ‘rebooting’ of comic book characters going on Dredd might get another roll of the dice. With David Fincher revitalising him in the same way Chris Nolan worked his magic on Batsy. Ah, I can dream I suppose…
