For Henry, a seventeen-year-old who feels no fear, the day starts like any other--homeless and alone on the streets of Boston. For Sarah, a twenty-year-old college dropout, it's an early morning serving donuts and coffee to commuters at North Station. Fate brings them together at the scene of a bank robbery, which they foil together, along with a mysterious and wealthy woman named Helen, who offers to reward them for their bravery. But before they can reach Helen's penthouse, they are assaulted by men and women from all walks of life, including police officers. Helen displays impressive fighting skills, fending off the attacks, allowing Henry and Sarah to make their escape--but they are spotted and pursued by the violent cult, out for Helen's blood...and now theirs. Racing through the streets of Boston, Sarah and Henry are propelled into a strange and ancient underworld where the impossible is real, where the old world still lives, and where the gods still walk among us. As the pair wages war against the killers hunting them, they discover the truth about who their deceased parents were, and that their lives could be far more exceptional than either believed possible...if they can survive the day. With TRIBE, New York Times bestselling author, Jeremy Robinson, brings mythology to the modern world, combining his trademarked fast-paced action and well developed characters, and taking them to new levels of craziness. It's 300, John Wick, and Wonder Woman rolled into a new kind of literary insanity.

This whole book was basically one long action sequence, which gets tiring after a bit, and also means there isn't much of a plot beside bam blam kapow.
The Master Takes Risks. In this latest book from the Modern Day Master of Science Fiction, Robinson takes some risks he is usually far more conservative with - and they totally work within the context of this particular tale. Robinson generally doesn't get very close to fantasy level tales, generally avoids out right F-bombs (even when he literally names a character F-Bomb!), and generally avoids the copious nudity it seems so many authors rely on at times. He also generally lays off religious or political commentary. And yet this particular book contains all of the above. The fantasy elements work well, reminiscent of Loki's armor showing up in The Avengers while he is speaking or walking around somewhere. (And another point is reminiscent of another MCU scene from a more recent movie, but openly discussing that one gets closer to spoiler territory than this reviewer would like to get.) Continuing to seemingly build to an Avengers Level Event 2, Robinson here gives himself what will quite likely become his “Hulk” level character if that ever comes about. Excellent book, and very much recommended.
