Blue Fire

The Misadventures of Max Bowman, Book 2

By: Joel Canfield

Narrated by: George Kuch

A missing comic book genius. An all-powerful hallucinogenic designer drug.

Max Bowman is haunted by both of them - and he just might lose his mind as a result.

When Max takes on the mission to find the long-lost creator of cult superhero Blue Fire, he ends up getting dosed with a chemical that upends his sanity just when he needs it the most. Now he's got to contend with zombies on the Upper East Side, a cult run by a clueless pawn, a hipster rapist who knows her way around a sword, a secret CIA spook program left over from the Cold War, and powerful old enemies who are out to destroy him - all while trying to keep his mind from crashing and burning for good.

Blue Fire's mantra in the old comic books used to be, "For good to be purged of evil...Blue Fire must endure." But now it's Max Bowman who must endure - and he's as far from a superhero as you can get.

Hilarious and Entertaining

Would you listen to Blue Fire again? Why?

Yes because the sarcastic humor and the plot are very interesting

What was one of the most memorable moments of Blue Fire?

When the main character starts hallucinating for the first time and flips out.

Which character – as performed by George Kuch – was your favorite?

Max Bowman was my favorite performance because the narrators voice seemed to fit the mental picture of what i thought Max would sound like.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I believe the part that moved me was when Bowmans dog was kidnapped and he realized just how much he cared about that dog.

Any additional comments?

Good

The comic book was a legend, a movie wanting to be made, but where is the author. Max undertakes to find, and runs into a mired of obstacles while doing so. The narration was good, Given audio for my voluntary review

Can't relate

I haven't been able to relate to Max or any of the other characters and the situations in which they find themselves. There's enough suspense to keep me wondering how this story ends, but not enough to keep me coming back for more.

George Kuch delivers a very satisfactory performance, although there were a couple of instances where I wished for a bit more distinction between character
voices. He does capture the voice of Max Bowman well.

Note: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Gritty fab!

The characters in this book are wonderfully earthy and relatable. The story is easy to follow and is well narrated by George Kuch. Bravo to both the author and narrator!
