BLUE LIGHT

Fans of Walter Mosley may be taken aback by this shockingly adult venture into science fiction. This book is both less realistic and more sordid than the Easy Rawlins mysteries. The prose is fine, the action fast, the concerns philosophical. A blue light has hit the earth, altered some to super beings. A comic book? Well, yes and no. Certainly not for children. Richard Ferrone's deep, compelling voice gives force and clarity to a powerful and deeply unsettling experience. Is it literature? I'm not sure. A cross between Dante and Frank Herbert.
