Great book. Cool concept also. And by the way, I love the nod to the Rat Pack on the cover. I guess it's appropriate, though, since the PHD have moved on to Vegas. They've been requested to train the next set of soldiers for the Vegas branch. This also happens to be where Paris lives. Anyways, a Daemonite bunker war found a little ways out of town. Shortly after is was found, 12 people from a neighboring town disappeared. Since the Daemonite can inhabit human form, it is the general assumption that those twelve people are now a threat to humanity. So they begin the training in earnest. We see a little of what each of our original operatives has to offer. We also get to see a little in to the mind of Dr. Mordeca, Shaw. It's not very pretty in there. It's really a miracle that he can keep it under control at all. We also get a little of the back story on what it is that makes Paris who he is. That also is not very pretty. So much so, that he's lying in bed telling Lauren about this, and she's so repulsed that she gets up immediately and take her home. Date's over! Then, at the end, we find out that this seems to be Defile's and Lady Decadence's dance. They seem to be pulling Stormwatch's strings, without them knowing it. Great story by Christos Gage. And of course, fantastic interiors by Doug Mahnke. This book is definitely a keeper.
