Dead Man Dreaming

The Fixer #5

by Andrew Vaillencourt

A killer stalks the streets of Dockside, and he has a bone to pick with Roland Tankowicz. Old friends, former clients, and even rivals find themselves in the sights of a murderer who loves his work a little too much and seems custom-built to take on New Boston’s most famous Army-surplus cyborg. Roland and his team will have to play detective to piece together the identity of this strange assassin before all his associates end up face down in the street. It would be a full day’s work for anybody, but it wouldn’t be Dockside if a whole crop of other disasters didn’t pop up at the same time just to make things interesting. A possessive ex-boyfriend, upheavals in the local police department, and shadowy corporate interests all choose this moment to rear their ugly heads. But far be it from the galaxy’s strangest duo of problem solvers to turn away from hard work or a decent paycheck. If anybody can juggle corrupt cops, sinister corporations, and one strange killer all at once, it’s everybody’s least-favorite metal curmudgeon and his hyperkinetic partner. Before the gunfire fades and the dust settles, The Fixer will meet death head-on to find out if he has what it takes to face down a DEAD MAN DREAMING.

I like these books in general, I really do.

However, if the author should happen upon this review...

We know how big Roland is. We've read the previous four books. If we happen to somehow forget he's seven and a half feet tall and 940lbs, you remind us in the first or second chapter of each book. Which is fine.

It's being told over and over and over again that gets old. I'd say at least a quarter of the book is repetitive information about how big the main character is and the information spam about the nature of his cyborg body.

We get it. Stop.

This episode felt more substantive than its last few predecessors. Roland's victory was far from assured and, in the end, an even greater fight was unveiled before him.

In today's age of the rising Right, an enemy that is as rich as they are immoral, seems all to fitting. These devils are using the dead as spare-parts to build machines designed to kill indiscriminately — the reader can only wait as Roland and Co. close in to enact a little justice.

This series needs either a movie or show treatment

Every book is a episode that is thrilling and interesting it is so much more than it's face value kudos to the author for his story telling.
