Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

It's a superhero novella with all.life on the line (the DNA molecule seems to be the issue).
It is set in modern-day Los Angeles but with many of the same themes and types of characters as the Easy Rawlins novels (which I love). The main character is an Incredible Hulk type with split screen consciousness and insane strength. It's Walter Mosley, so it's very well written. I do wish we had more time to meet the family in addition to the hero story. I guess I wanted some emotion with my action:). It's a quick read and it feels like it's setting up a more involved clash between universal forces.

This body of work was definitely different from what I've read by Walter Mosley in the past. In reading this book, I have feelings and thoughts like I don't know what to feel or what to think.

The story was definitely interesting. At the forefront, it seems as if Martin/Temple may have a mental disorder (it was hinted of Schizophrenia). However, in hindsight, it was about life and death and how there is constantly a war going on between the two.

This book falls into a genre that I'm not accustomed to but I am happy that I finished it.
