"Underworld" - A tale of real people facing the unimaginable - By: , 15 Aug 2001
Leading Gabriel Tyler & Jonathan Fivehawk further into the realms of the unimaginable "Underworld" takes the threads from "Ghost Town" & weaves them through another tale of real people faced with the horror of evil bothin it's more mundane & then otherworldly forms.

Proving they're more than just pure-white heroes, I liked the way that Tyler & Fivehawk rub each other up the wrong way on more than one occasionin this book. They also have self doubt & moments of selfishness. It all makes the characters much more rounded.

The awful conditionsin & around the mine are well described, & the petty thuggery of the hired hands fits easily into the overall image of Drache's minions that has been built up.

The character of Tulsa is also well drawn, a spunky gal who's trying not to lose all hope & dignityin a situation she has very little control over. I liked her a lot.

The Hidden People are sympathetically portrayed, & not as clichéd as many native Americans seem to bein some books.

I have to say that "Underworld" is my favourite of the two books so far. The characters have grown some between the books it seems, & meshin a more adult fashion, & although they are still mostly stupid, the henchmen seem much more 'real' as well this time round.

"Underworld" is a great story, & though it ties up some threads from "Ghost Town" there must be more adventures to come for Tyler & Fivehawk.
