He is then pulled into an investigation of a separate murder (again, is it such? The parents believe so, but the state does not) of a child which, as events transpire, seems to have more and more to do with the death of the SS doctor.
So I could see from roughly a third of the way into this where it was going. And it is horrifying that these events - well, maybe not *these* exact events, but very very similar ones - took place routinely in 1940 Nazi Germany.
Learn from history.
So it will never be repeated.

What can I say, other than it is getting terrible reviews?
Starring Jared Leto and Matt Smith, you think the former would have learned from his abysmal Suicide Squad role, with the latter not seeming to have much luck at all with his Hollywood choices despite starring as one of the biggest names in British TV: that of The Doctor.
Basically? Leto plays a scientist suffering from a rare blood disorder who, in an attempt to cure himself by splicing Vampire Bat DNA to his own (don't think too hard about the science!) manages to turn himself into (more or less) a vampire. Anti-hero, basically.
Set in the same universe as Venom - with those films getting a wink wink nudge nudge moment - if not the main MCU this is relatively short, very murkily shot (I still haven't got a clue what went on during the final scenes) and lacks the draw of Tom Hardy completely over acting.

The Thirty Years War appeared to me to be a period where everyone was fighting everyone else in Europe. Jack’s father is caught up in all this and is killed, swiftly followed by the apparent suicide of his mother. Jack flees, knowing that he has to get away, carrying a silver medal with a wolf on it.
Jack has a habit of falling on his feet, and then getting into trouble of one kind or another - so he doesn’t stay in any one place for long. In this book, he starts off in France, then on to Amsterdam, and then Germany.
It’s an intriguing, exciting book, and really readable. The ending has ensured that I’ll most definitely look out for the second book in this trilogy.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and J. C. Harvey for reading along.
