I am an Adam Christopher fan. I love his noirish style and his ability to take sci fi in a cool direction. I will say that this book scared the crap out of me. I found myself not being able to read it alone, but I made it.

A cool story and interesting idea. My imagination was taken to a far away place and that's where I started scaring myself, so that's some good fiction. I wanted the ending to be so much more, but alas I was not satisfied with it, hence the 4 stars.

As a Christopher Moore fan, its hard for me to not be biased. I do regret only just now getting around to reading some of his earlier works. Being from the Bay Area it's nice to read a story that places its characters in places I have been and can view without having to know much detail. This story, while not super complex, was glorious in all its various parts. From the troubled Jody being turned with no answers, to the timid and newly rejuvenated Tommy moving from Midwest nowhere to hustle and bustle SF. I have to say I wish we as readers knew more about The Emperor and his place as well as wishing we could have gotten a deeper glimpse into the mind of The Vampire. However, thats why sequels are written. A fun quick read that brought laughter, grossness, and even a bit of fright.

I am now a full Adam Christopher fan. Having read Empire State and enjoying it, I was definitely looking forward to a sophomore novel. Seven Wonders did not disappoint. A true mix of noir style comic book tales, the greatest turn of events to become quite the sci-fi vision.
The universe Adam Christopher has come to create will grab the attention of non sci-fi and true sci-fi fans with this book. Great action, superb detail and a twisting story to leave you wanting more!
Bravo!
