Needed a fix; trying not to spend a million bucks on the eagerly awaited junk food books that should be arriving at my library branch soon, so I went online and downloaded the sequels to this one.
Just finished Dead Man Rising, which was the second in this series, and now reading The Devil's Right Hand. Ending was a bit more predictable in the second one. Storyline was more internal, I guess trying to give Dante some history and depth. Let me save you a few hundred pages: it doesn't matter how well armed, how well trained, and/or that you've undergone gene splicing to make you pretty much invincible -- you still gotta face your inner demons or else you're no good to anyone. The second one got a little whinier. Hoping for an improvement and a new twist in the third, but so far, not so much.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
