![]() It's action-packed and graphic, but aside from the horror, there lies a brilliant and cunning plot in this masterful third book of Christopher Golden's suspenseful series. Prowlers #3: Predator And Prey is the best yet of the Prowlers series, and also the most intense. But what he doesn't know is that he is about to face his worst and most dangerous enemy in his life. Jack knows that he can take on the Prowlers if they attack him again. Even though Tanzer was killed, his successor, Jasmine, is the most dangerous Prowler there is to Jack, Molly, Courtney, Bill, and Artie - and she may be anywhere, plotting to kill them again. He also has to worry about the constant threat of the murderous Prowlers that prey on innocent people. But Jack also has to wonder if the truth about Artie be told to Molly, who isn't aware that Jack can see and talk to his dead best friend's ghost. When he barely escapes its clutches, he vows to somehow stop it- knowing that Artie will be gone forever if this creature isn't stopped in time. When Artie tells Jack of this piece of news, Jack is also aware that the Ravenous is more dangerous than any Prowler he's ever faced. Check it out.Ī terrifying and deadly creature known as the Ravenous stalks the Ghostlands, and is murdering anyone within it before they can travel to their final destination. Needless to say (except I'm saying it anyway), the rest of Christopher Golden's work is also captivating stuff. However, instead of werewolves, the Necroscope's main antagonists are vampires, and the stories there are more dire and vaster in scope. ![]() ![]() If you enjoy the Prowler series, give Brian Lumley's Necroscope books a try, whose lead characters bear a similarity with Jack Dwyer in that they also interact with the dead. By the way, I've just began reading the fourth book, Prowlers: Wild Things, and it also promises to live up to the quality of the previous 3 page-turners. And, even then, not every one of the regulars escapes unscathed. The prowler assassin was no joke, but, man, the Ravenous is one mean supernatural mother I'll just say that Jack wouldn't have been able to vanquish that monster if not for a very fortuitous event. But, this time, the stakes are raised, the jeopardy elevated. Golden again maintains the frenetic pace the reader has gotten used to in the prior two books. ![]() And introduced here is the lovely Eden Hirsch, one of the few people who have been reincarnated time and again and who remembers every life she had led. This book also marks the return of Homicide Detective Jason Castillo, who's in on the prowler secret. Tension also springs up between Molly and Jack, who have finally started dating, when Molly finds out that Jack and Artie (who was Molly's boyfriend) are still in touch but haven't told her. It gets even more desperate when Jack's prowler friend Bill Cantwell is kidnapped, leaving Jack, Molly, and Courtney all the more vulnerable. Meanwhile, Artie's ghost pleads with Jack to help the Ghostlands denizens (ghosts who haven't passed on) against the Ravenous, a malignant, unstoppable creature who rippingly feeds on these lost souls. This prowler assassin has ties with Bill Cantwell, but don't expect that to keep him from coldbloodedly earning his pay. They must contend with an assassin contracted by the revenge-minded Jasmine, who is one of the very few prowlers to survive Jack Dwyer's decimation of Owen Tanzer's clan. This time out, Jack Dwyer, his sister Courtney, Molly Hatcher, and Bill Cantwell face grave peril on two fronts. And their main prey is man, who are their preferred choice of snacks. Prowlers aren't supernatural they don't have magical powers but they are ultra strong, ferociously fast, and very durable. Prowlers are the creatures from whom the werewolf myth originated. Prowlers: Predator and Prey is the third gripping installment in Christopher Golden's series about three ordinary humans (and one who isn't ordinary or human) who hunt down the prowlers, amoral monsters who've stalked the world long before man came along.
