7th SON by J.C. Hutchins

7th SON COVERRATING: Five out of five Sigs.
Like I even need to include this one. Every fucker on the planet listens to this ridiculous illegal audio herion that has us all strung out. 7th Son, Book Three. J.C. Hutchins is a motherfucker, okay? It's just that simple. Muh-ther-fah-ker.
7th Son Book One will be out in print from St. Martin's Press in 2009. That publisher is smart enough to see the addictive nature of 7th Son and the storytelling of Hutchins. The book reads very long, however, and needs a ruthless edit to cut down some redundancies and make it punchier - that's what St. Martin's is going to do, and it's going to make 7th Son a total knockout.
Content-wise, Hutchins and I play in very similar spaces. There's a ton of science, both real and pseudo, to keep your brain involved. He creates excellent foreshadowing -- most plot devices and character actions are justified, nothing comes out of left field. There is no magic, no undead, no unexplained contrivances. This book is hardcore, disciplined storytelling. You can see that Hutch put in the wrench-time on this series.

I've finished book 1 and
my favorite is the priest and Alpha kinda. He's evil and smart and doesn't really make any mistakes.

listened to book 1
very interesting. I think I got all the Infection references. Now I have to go back and listen to infection for 7th son references. I caught one my first time through a while back when I had listened to the first episode.

when I first started
listening to Decent I wasnt giving my full attention to the story. I sorta got a little confused hearing all the clones names as they were being picked up. I had to re-listen to figure outwhat was going on. Did you run into that?

it was kinda confusing and I had to back but I hung through and I'm glad I did.

I didn't get all their names but then when the story went on I got all the names when they were doing all the stuff.

I had heard of 7th son
On Dragon Page. It was while listening to 7th son I heard of Infection. In saying that, I picked up Infection and was immediately addicted! I had become a Junkie. I also have to admit as well as being an OJ I am also known as Beta Clone #219. Its a dark secret I carry.....
