Comments on Faceoff

Great idea to have iconic characters from different authors in the same story. Very easy and interesting listen. The readers kept my attention through all the different stories.

a mixed bag

This accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to get characters together in the same stories . . . and some succeed better than others, no surprise. Its worth a credit for sure.

Not all are created equal...

The best was saved for last. The rest were in the mediocre to "I-saw-that-coming-a-mile-away". I always fall for these and hope that some day one will really be worth the listen from start to finish.

A great mix of Thrill Writers

if you are a Thrillers fan, this book is for you. All your favorite characters are in a dozen short stories. It let's you sample various writers working together to mix their favorite characters into scenarios working with other famous characters.
