Enjoyable romp. The Leverage team takes on an entrepreneur who is bilking comic book artists out of their original art pieces. He has plans to auction them for big bucks and keep the proceeds. Nate, Sophie, Parker, Elliot and Hardison travel to San Diego for ComicCon where Hardison geeks out in a major way. The team finds that there is a deadly plot behind the auction which could lead to the deaths of hundreds of fans. Along the way, many inside jokes and name-dropping occurs. A series villain puts in a surprise appearance as well as a beloved publishing figure. If you're a fan of the tv series, the story stays true to the characters. Nate reveals a heart-wrenching reason for not wanting to attend the convention, Parker gets to do a couple disguises, and Elliot gets multiple chances to mock Hardison's enthusiasm. Great fun! ( )

This was a great, fun romp which perfectly matched the tone of the show.
I knocked a star off, however, due to a single joke being repeated like, four times, about both Cha0s and Wil Wheaton being at the con.
It was funny the first time.
But it got old. ( )

Loved the TV series the book just kind of falls a little flat. It's not bad it just didn't grip me like the show did. ( )

A nice beginning. I wish there was a book with the very beginning of the group and more backstory for each. I like and miss the series. ( )

I don't like many tie-in novels, but I did enjoy this one - and actually read it in just two sittings. The characters felt true to canon, the plot was enjoyable, and the story itself stuck nicely to the formula that we know and love from Leverage. I bought this on a whim, but will actually be trying the other tie-ins for the series now. ( )
