"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

Taking that maxim to heart, the third novel in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series picks up from where the second - 'Heat Stroke' - left off. Set primarily in and around Las Vegas, this novel introduces a new organisation - the Ma'at - and also refers back to previously unmentioned events in Joanne's life. I also reckon you would need to have read the previous novels to get the full import of what is happening, what the occassional reference to events in those novels.

While still an enjoyable read, this also didn't quite grab me as much as the previous two in the series.

Too much cowboy malarkey (0 more)
Having read a fair few Laymon novels I looked forward to reading this one. Jack The Ripper goes West is an interesting idea but sadly runs aground. The main issue I had was that there was too much cowboy malarkey going on in the main story. The horror elements are kept as bookends for the story, which follows Trevors travels to Tombstone to attempt to halt Jack The Ripper's reign of terror. As I am not much of a fan of Western novels I found it all a bit of a slog to get through. Not one of Laymon's best by a long mile.
