Product Description

Synopsis

Stormtroopers are diving out of the sun to prey on the innocent! Engines of Mass Destruction are tearing apart homes and families! There are monstrous torture-parlours of Master Minus and his Palace of Beautiful Thoughts! There is no escape from the Ultimate Reich! Now the terrifying Luftwaffe, on their steam-driven wings, have torn apart the sleepy town of Pasito in the heart of Mexico, only to rebuild it as a terrifying clockwork-town where the people become human robots, furthering the nightmare dreams of Der Fuhrer. Who will save them from this Tsunamie of fear? The swordsman they call El Sombra! But who is this masked hero?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut novel from a talented 2000AD writer., 28 Jul 2007
By T. Bennett "darkyoung1000" (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and freely admit to being a fan of the authors work in 2000AD as well. Set in a future in which the British Empire still reigns, the Nazi regime is a contained threat, carrying out its experiments on the population of a Mexican town. Our hero wades into the action dishing out revenge with flair and panache.
While there are some very bloody scenes in the book, there is also a great sense of humour running through it, with several laugh out loud moments. I'm not sure if it would fall under steam punk or sci fi (or both) but the author has taken the universe of Pax Britannia and built on it brilliantly. There's some great creations, the steam powered iron wings of the Luftwaffe, Der Zinnsoldat (a truly menacing creation) and The Spider.
I'm looking forward to the second novel & more good works in 2000AD

5.0 out of 5 stars National Socialism and its Mexican Holiday, 22 May 2008
By Damian Sefton "drgs100" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Danger, adventure and Nazis in Mexico; but unlike Antonio Banderas El Sombra does not remove his moustache! If you want the dull meanderings and over analysis of self-obsessed-whinging-middle-class-fools then go read "We Need to Talk about Kevin", then shoot your self in the head. If you what rip-roaring adventure, terrible villains you could not imaging, and to feel every bone crunching death then El Sombra is your man.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, 27 Sep 2008
By Mr. James Edwards "James" (Lichfield UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can only assume that the two reviewers who gave 5 stars read a different book, at least I hope so. Poorly plotted, badly written with no redeeming features. I thought that Unnatural History was dreadful but this is equally as bad. Bad enough to be a joke but not a funny one. I will avoid the rest of this series, wasting money on two books was stupid enough.
