Product Description
Product Description
Peter Parker, the amazing Spider-Man, has made an astonishing discovery-he has a sister! Unfortunately, a manipulative super-villain known as the Gentleman-who had a hand in the deaths of Peter's parents-has somehow brainwashed her into becoming the deadly supervilainess known as Pity! Together with Doctor Octopus, Electro, the Vulture, and Mysterio, they've formed the newest incarnation of the super-villain group dedicated to destroy Spider-Man, the Sinister Six! But there is something more than just the death of Spider-Man on the Sinister Six's agenda; something that has caused Col. Sean Morgan and his high-tech anti-espionage agents of S.A.F.E. to become involved. Spider-Man teams up with Morgan to stop the Sinister Six before they can put their world-threatening plan in motion, and to save his sister before it's too late!

Fantastic! Great Book!!
23 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
I have been waiting to read this book for a while. I wondered what was going to happen in this book, and I was waiting to see what questions from the first book were going to be answered. I definitely was not disappointed. The book answers some questions while raising others. Adam Troy-Castro is one of the best writers for the Spider-Man novels. He has the ability to mix strong action scenes with wonderful humor. There are several movie and television references in the book. I leave those up to you readers to discover. This book is a whirlwind of emotions. You experience humorous moments (when Mary-Jane kicks the tar out of the Chameleon) to moments of anxiety and despair. Adam Troy-Castro is really able to show the inner strength of Spider-Man and delves into his psyche. He also gives us some insight towards the end of why Jonah might obsess over Spider-Man. This was a fantastic book and I highly recommend it to any Spidey fan.

A long wait, but definitely worth it
20 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
Finally we receive the second installment in the Sinster Six Trilogy. This novel furthers the story begun in THe Gathering of the Sinister Six. As might be expected, there are many fight scenes between Spidey and his enemies. Especially good to read is the day-long series of battles orchestrated by the Six to occupy Spidey and SAFE while a peculiar theft is committed.
Castro gives us an excellent read. He manages to capture the spirit of the comic book universe quite well, as good as any of the other Marvel Novel contributors.
Especially interesting is the search Peter Parker undertakes to verify the possibility of his having a long-lost older sister. The reader is led to believe that she is in league with the Six (being, in fact, their sixth member) via association with the man who killed Peter's parents and psychologically dominates her. This so-called Gentleman is a nice addition to the rogues' gallery of Spidey foes.
I really enjoyed this book, and for any Spider-man fan it should not disappoint. There is my standard complaint that the events in the novels do not affect the course of action in the comic books, but there will always be such discrepancies. Happy reading!

It was a very good book. After the first one, I had some questions, but the 2'nd one answered them, for the most part. An overall great book!
