I saved the world and as a reward for my hard work, they sent me back to Shard World, banished from my home, and from the woman I most desire. A woman who betrayed me in the end.

But I made it back once. I built a warp hole generator from the rocks and stones. I'm going to build another one, find a way back somehow...

Because the world hasn't seen the last of me.

Blackjack Wayward The Blackjack Series Book 2 eBook Ben Bequer Joshua Hoade

BLACKJACK: WAYWARD is the sequel to the very entertaining BLACKJACK: VILLAIN that followed the adventures of a super-smart and super-tough archer who just couldn't put his formidable gifts to productive use. The ending of the previous book had an apocalyptic battle between superheroes and villains with our anti-hero saving the day but at considerable cost.

The sequel opens up with Blackjack seemingly being transported to another world as a way to contain his colossal power only for him to end up becoming a pirate as well as, effectively John Carter of Mars. This part of the story dragged, sadly, due to the fact I was interested in Black Jack's supervillain antics versus his more fantasy-sci fi ones. The twist at the end was very appreciated, though.

What followed after that section of the book (roughly 20%) was very interesting as we saw Black Jack return to an Earth where he's a hated pariah and him hooking up with an undead sorceress who distracts him from his pining for superheroine Apogee. We also get Black Jack's vow of revenge against Zundergub the psychic who murdered his way through so many lives that even supervillains are disgusted against him (particularly ones blamed for his crimes like Black Jack).

I appreciated how the book took the "realistic" view that a criminal who killed a beloved hero and numerous police officers as well as soldiers wasn't forgiven despite helping save the world. In fact, the public generally just denies he's done anything good at all. I was a bit annoyed that Apogee doesn't show up on camera until the very-very end but there's a lot of good in this book.

Black Jack, himself, is a complicated as well as flawed character who is trying to be good but it goes against his natural inclinations. For example, despite the fact he claims to be in love with Apogee, he more or less goes after anything female which crosses his path. He also is fully willing to murder his way through opponents as a pirate but has issues with conquering a nation. He sleeps with other women regularly but expects his partners to be faithful. In short, he's very much the model fo a lower-class lout.

I recommend it for fans of superhero fiction and sci-fi.

Blackjack Wayward The Blackjack Series Book 2 eBook Ben Bequer Joshua Hoade Reviews


Wayward picks up right where villan left off. That in itself is one of the big issues that i had with the book. The beginning, id say the first fifth of the book, is frustrating and i kind of wish it was not there. It serves a purpose but it was drawn out and i cant say much about it because that would ruin a good portion of the book.

Obviously Blackjack gets thrown back into the world with whole new problems to deal with. Unfortuantly the cast of characters is not as rich as in Villan. I distinctly missed both Cool and Apogee especially in the start. Dale interacting with those two in particular made Villan fun to read. Thats not to say Wayaward isnt fun, because it is. Its also more serious with Dale going through darker times. The characters and what they go through reflect that as well, lacking the levity of parts of book one.

Another thing that irked me was the lack of talk about the greater threat, the lightbringers. They are mentioned a couple times but in the several times the battle on the island is mentioned the reason it was fought was not. Id imagine we havent seen the last of them. The action is similar to the end of Villan with Blackjack forgoing his bow for the more direct approach. In my opinion this took some of the unpredictability that his bow and gadgets brought to a fight. A last issue i had was the repetition, some information was repeated over and over. Im not talking about 3 times in a book im talking three times in the span of 50 or so pages. The theme seemed to be Dales confused in this book for MOST of the book and it got old after awhile even if there was a reason.

I kind of saw the ending coming but its suddeness surprised me. The above seems like i had many problems with the book but they did little to detract from the experience. It was fun and exciting. Also moving at times and I devoured the book, will read it again in a few days and am already looking forward to the next in the series. So yes, if you liked book one i can easily say give book two a shot.
