Mel Odom reviews “Checkmate: A King’s Game”
Oklahoma author and friend-to-Nerdage Mel Odom writes a review of Greg Rucka’s “Checkmate: A King’s Game” over at Blogcritics.
An excerpt:
(Rucka’s) stories don’t just revolve around missions and the agents that go on them. The stories also delineate what goes on back at mission control, all the mistrust, the jockeying for control, the desire of some of the key players to keep certain ops or assets to themselves. I found myself getting just as involved in the bickering, secrets, and political maneuvering within the Checkmate organization as I did with the actions of the agents in the field.

Political intrigue and crime is what Greg Rucka does best. I have only read the first 6 issues of this series , but it is very good. Gotham Central was also very good.
