Crime has a new enemy...

By: James Patterson

Brought to you by Penguin.

Only two people know Lamont Cranston's secret identity as the Shadow, a vigilante of justice: his greatest love, Margo Lane, and his fiercest enemy, Shiwan Khan. Then Khan ambushes the couple, who find the slimmest chance of survival . . . in the uncertain future.

A century and a half later, Lamont awakens in a world both unknown and strangely familiar. The first person he meets is Maddy Gomes, a teenager with her own mysterious secrets, including a more than passing awareness of the legend of the Shadow.

Most disturbing, Khan's power continues to be felt over New York and its people. No one in this new world understands the dangers of stopping him better than Lamont Cranston. He also knows he's the only one who stands a chance. Lamont must prove that the Shadow is more than just a legend.

I loved this book

I normally hate Science fiction and the only books that take place in the future that I like are those by JD Robb, but I loved this story and the narration was great. It was the cross between reading a crime mystery, a comic book and with some romance. The characters were great and the story was fast, fun and surprising. I am ready to read the next one and I hope the seriess goes on.
