Flunky Pawns and Kings eBook Michael Rickard

Flunky: Pawns and Kings is an interesting take on superhero fiction with a strong noir flavor. It focuses on the villainous sides, following a pair of professional henchman, Paul and Ric, and their mutual friend Jason. Jason is a wild child pro athlete who enjoys flirting with the world his two dangerous old friends live in. One of the things I liked was the fact, despite being bad guys who do terrible things for a living, Paul and Ric make a sincere effort to try and keep Jason out of that side of their lives knowing he'll probably get in over his head. And when a birthday night out goes off the rails, he definitely does.

The book moves along at a good pace, rotating between the three main characters. The multiple points of view are handled well with each character having their own distinct voice which is one of the major strengths of the book. The gigantic Paul is not quite all there and tends to be fairly laid back, in sharp contrast with the brutal violence he's capable of particularly when angry. Ric is cold and professional with a mean streak, reminiscent of a classical gangster. The author deftly manages to avoid making him unlikable by having a fair bit of the humor in the book come at his expense. Mr. Richard successfully makes Jason an impulsive screw-up while being genuinely charming and likeable.

All in all, it was well written and enjoyable story, and I'd definitely be interested in a sequel.

Flunky Pawns and Kings eBook Michael Rickard Reviews

The author has written an exceptional work of creative fiction set in a partially real but fictitious world where super-humans and humans interact. The characters themselves are well developed; from the Pawns to the Kings, each one of them with unique personal traits that make the book exciting and believable. The plot is suspenseful and once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. If you are looking for a fast-paced and exciting novel this one just may be for you. Highly recommend it!
I loved this book. A fresh new idea for a story topic. In this day of super hero everything, to tell the story of the villain's underlings was genius!! Well told story and great writing
