I quite enjoyed the Rain Gods and was excited to read this book. Although I love heroes, this group of 4 people are a little over the top. Hack, his 2 deputies, and their dispatcher face Mexican gangsters, American criminals, RUSSIAN criminals (for heaven's sakes!!) and the U. S. Government (good grief) and come out on top. Actually, there isn't all that much action by the Sheriff and his group; it seems mostly the different factions killing each other off then whining to the Sheriff's department about it.

All in all, I found this story convoluted, unbelievable, and mostly boring. While I was able to finish it, I must admit that about a third into the book I started skimming the parts where everyone is suffering from angst.

On the plus side, the dialogue is very good, and the writing is excellent, just that there is too much of it! This book would have been much better if it were 100 pages shorter.
