2010 post apocalyptic action/adventure, which is about as close as I've ever come to seeing the author David Gemmell's character of Jon Shannow (aka The Jerusalem Man) on screen!

Let's see the similarities:

Post apocalyptic? Check.
Essentially a Western? Check.
Lone survivor wandering the plains/roads? Check.
Said survivor looking for redemption? Check.
Whilst carrying/quoting from a Bible? Check.
Gunfights and bar-room brawls? Check.

Yes, there are differences - including a very big reveal at the end - but, all in all, there are a heck of a lot of similarities ...

Ridiculously early Oscar predictions:
Best Picture- Jojo Rabbit (they have never been keen on satire, but it looks like a winner at TIFF)
Best Director- Terence Malick, A Hidden Life
Best Actor- Antonio Banderas, Pain & Glory (plays a veiled version of his director like Roy Scheider)
Best Actress- Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Best Supporting Actor- John Lithgow, Bombshell (they like villainous people)
Best Supporting Actress- Annette Bening (famous Oscar loser gets redemption)
Best Original Screenplay- The Farewell (QT has 2 already)
Best Adapted Screenplay- Jojo Rabbit (writers live satire though)

Another fab book
Welcome to the latest Deadmen's Quest....

Valynda Moore was born cursed. So when she dies as the result of a spell gone wrong and is trapped in the body of a voodoo doll, she expects nothing else from her messed-up life. Until Thorn, leader of the Hellchasers, offers her a chance at redemption and a new life.

But nothing has ever gone her way, for the Malachai, the very beast she and her crew of Deadmen have sworn to keep locked away, has risen. And this time he's taken prisoners. Valynda must keep her wits about her or be denied her salvation and forced to watch as the entire world falls into the hands of absolute evil.

It's a demon-eat-demon world where the stakes have never been higher and either redemption or the ultimate betrayal waits for her At Death's Door



This is the end of this trilogy and I'm sad to see it finish. I love her books and the little touches she brings from her Dark hunter and Nick chronicles. Always a joy to see Simi make an appearance as well as Ash.

So this is ram packed with demon fights and well written sex scenes.

Highly recommended
