Book Description

Oct 1997
Austin Tucker was a Green Beret, a man with lightning reflexes and the training to use them. But his life was shattered one Thanksgiving night when strangers invaded his home and killed his son, his daughter, and his wife.
Derek Waites was once an outlaw computer hacker, the infamous Captain Africa. Now he designs computer games. Someone has just tried to kidnap his son, while his daughter cried a strange warning and burst into flames.
The two men can have nothing in common-Tucker is a white man from the suburbs, Waites is a black street-hustler trying to go straight. But they are brothers in the same cause. If Tucker and Waites can resolve their differences long enough to work together, they can defeat an ancient evil. Between them they have the skills and the knowledge to break an ancient cycle of supernatural predation, and save the lives of a generation of children.

"Ý"Blood Brothers" is nicely plotted, wonderfully paced, and has characters this reader cares about. What else do you need?"-"San Diego Union-Tribune"

Steven Barnes has created a nice balance between the supernatural element and the traditional elements of an action novel - male bonding, moral dilemmas, desperate combat, military technology and character development. I liked the fact that his main character breaks some of the typical stereotypes. Not only is he black, he is also a computer geek and father whose wife is divorcing him. Definitely worth reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!! 27 Jan 1999

Wow! I've followed Steven Barnes for a long time, and this is definitly his best work so far (although I haven't read Iron Shadows). I suppose, in hind sight, that there were so other logical courses of action. But my response to those comments and others like them is: "But if they did that, there wouldn't be a story!". I was captivated by the plot of this book, and i whole-heartedly recommend it.
