Max Allan Collins: Dark Angel: Skin Game review

I'm a fan. I admit it here at the beginning of the review. I love the idea of transgenics, dna manipulation and animal abilities. I love good action, futuric, cyberpunk related world and good characters. So as I heard of the three books that have been written to complete the unfinished series created by James Cameron, I was totally getting them.

Skin Game is situated just after the end of the second (and final) season of Dark Angel. It recaps the final events and reminds on how the story ended. The book reveals what happened then, how the critical situation between the residents of Terminal City and the police was solved (at least for now), how the transgenics started to find their place and cope with the regulars.
There is a killer on loose and there is a possibility that it is a transgenic, so Ames White uses all his powers to create a PR war that Max and her friends must answer to.

The book is written in a nice, descriptive way. You can feel the rain pounding your shoulders and smell the scent of the sewers. And when the known characters speak, you see them in front of you and here the voices of Alec, Logan and Max.

For me as a fan, it was like returning to meet old friends. This book is for the fans of the series and it doesn't try to be anything else.
