Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Fun pulpy sci-fi in the vein of a lot of 60's and 70's era space opera. There are a few different arcs getting thrown around, but essentially Nexus is a galactic superhero granted extraordinary powers to assassinate random mass murderers around the galaxy. Nexus the person isn't really in control of who or why he kills, instead he has terrible nightmares (that also somehow effect his physical well being) about his future victims, and their atrocities. Then he seeks them out and kills them. (Often decades after their crimes.) Its quite strange, not the least of which are the psychic disembodied heads that many of the governments (and evil dictators) use as power sources. I'm currently reading the second omnibus from the library, but not seeing it on Goodreads. ( ) Slow going at first. Reminds me a bit of some of Kirby's stuff, with over-the top superhumans (gods, really). The sci-fi is nicely done, but it wasn't resonating with me. Yet a few issues in I felt compelled to keep reading. There's an odd mix of humor and drama. Can't decide exactly how I want to rate this, will probably read the next collection before I decide on whether or not I'll keep reading the reprints. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
