Review: Kolchak and the Lost World by C. J. Henderson

Kolchak and the Lost World by C. J. Henderson

What a delight to find a new adventure of Kolchak the Night Stalker. After the events of the television series, Kolchak finds his reputation as a journalist in the toilet, but he rebounds through his reporting on a human serial killer. That success gets him the opportunity to travel to Ecuador to do an article on a war between two rival drug gangs. Unfortunately, Kolchak quickly learns that much more is going on in Ecuador than he had realized. The drug gangs are fighting over access to a legendary lost city.

 

It was a tremendous amount of fun to “see” Kolchak again but frankly this was not the best adventure. The lost city and the events around it are just not explained fully enough to be satisfying, but the journey was good enough that I’d gladly give another new Kolchak book a try. Here’s hoping that there will be many more.
