Despite a valiant effort on Vitriol’s part, Korbius’
minions steal the serum that can turn humans into werewolves. Korbius deliver the
case of serum to Lord Barthus, but informs him that Vitriol is still alive. Our
hero returns home and has his wounds tended to by Danion, who questions why he
doesn’t join forces with the Defense Initiative. The conversation is
interrupted by a press conference on the TV being held by Mayor Dyer. It’s
announced that recently kidnapped scientist Dr. Grethius has been rescued. The
scientist gives a message of gloom, and then ends the conference in the most
unexpected way!
The writing is solid, but the plot is not all that
unique. That’s not to say it isn’t good or an uninteresting series. The main
character is what has intrigued me. He’s fighting the creatures of the night as
a repayment for his father’s sins, but there is more to this mysterious man
than that. This is a book worth checking out.
VITRIOL THE HUNTER #2 is in stores now or available at www.idwpublishing.com.
