My joy for reading Shannon's work led me to Kill Them All, book six of the Dead Man series, and my first dip into the series. It's a novella and can be read inn less than a day, unless you read multiple books like I do.
Matt Cahill is a man who was frozen solid for three months before being brought back to life. Now that he is back, he can see that some people have something supernatural, something evil possessing their mind and actions. He is on the hunt for the ever elusive Mr. Dark.

I've been falling behind in Lee Goldberg's and William Rabkin's Dead Man series. In the time since I read the fifth volume, The Blood Mesa, which was way back in the summer of last year, a lot has happened. The series is already up to about the eighth volume--maybe ninth by now--and the books even got picked up Amazon's publishing wing, 47 North. Bigger and better things, but are the books still bringing the goods?

With the announcement just a couple of weeks ago that the Dead Man series was picked up for publication through Amazon’s “47 North” imprint, I feel sorta bad posting a negative review of the fifth volume; I don’t want to poop on their parade.
But I consider this the weakest entry in the series so far. Matt Cahill, the man who shouldn’t be alive but is, wanders into a small Nevada town (which is supposed to be a Old West town maintained for the tourists, even though we never see a single tourist)...more

Harry is the latest author to contribute to The Dead Man series of novellas. It must be daunting to receive the call.
Lee Goldberg: Hi Harry. Do you want to write an edition of The Dead Man?
Harry Shannon: Why sure Lee, I love that series.
Lee: Okay, just don't fuck it up!
Fortunately Harry has come through with the writing goods to keep the series' reputation intact. Matt and his axe are back, once again visiting a small town, ready to kick some evil arse (I'm Australian, we spell it arse, not ass)...more

And thankfully, the series continues...
Matt is on a new adventure in an "Old West" Nevada town. The sex is toned down in this one as Matt truly doesn't have time with all of the action he's partaking in (and really creating himself). I loved this installment and can't wait for the next one. I have to say that this one was far worth the wait. Molotov cocktail in the hands of teens upstairs in a whorehouse anyone? This book was just amazing and action packed from start to finish.

If installment #5 (BLOOD MESA) was the DEAD MAN Series' "action-horror" outing, this installment is definitely the "neo-western" of the bunch. Hero/drifter Matt Cahill lands in a fading tourist trap recreation of a Wild West town and must rally the townspeople in order to hold off a gang of mercenaries touched by Mr. Dark. After a bit of a letdown with BLOOD MESA the series is definitely back on track with this one!
I found this installment particularly interesting, as the author settles the reader a bit more deeply in the mind of Matt Cahill (and also showed us another character thinking about him, which I do not think we have seen before). Up to now, the stories have had us looking out of his eyes, or looking down at him, but not so much thinking his thoughts. I liked this more personal approach.

fans of dark thrillers/suspense and horror
Matt arrives in Dry Well, NV in spectacular fashion after saving the sheriff’s daughter, who had fallen in a mine. However, he has been followed to Nevada by mercenaries hired by the university that first treated him after he was found under the snow, who are determined they are going to figure out how he is still alive – even if it kills Matt. Can Matt and the townspeople of Dry Well hold off the mercenaries? Or is this the end of the road for Matt Cahill?

This is a slightly different entry in the Dead Man series, a bit more straightforward and less disturbing than usual. Mike saves a young girl from a caving accident, which gets a small town of decent folk on his side when trouble comes calling. Mr. Dark even sits this one out.
All in all, it's a bit dull despite the short length and okay action scenes.

Had to give this one 5 stars. This book was just very enjoyable to me. If you have liked the last five I don't see how you can go wrong here.
Another quick, fun read and the introduction of a new enemy into the series.
Another excellent episode in this series.
Nice rebound from the book that preceded this one. The plot in this series, to this point, is getting a bit formulaic, but this one moved the overall story along nicely, at least! Hope to see more of Mr. Dark soon, though!
