DIVISIBLE MAN - TWELFTH KNIGHT
An Editor’s Pick by Booklife from Publishers Weekly - “A book of outstanding quality.”
“Five Stars!” —Readers’ Favorite
“With smooth narrative style and snappy dialogue, Seaborne keeps the plot moving without ever getting bogged down in procedural details. He also manages to show vulnerability in Will that makes the action-fueled character surprisingly relatable—still traumatized by a past shooting, Will realized that there’s even more at stake now that Andy’s pregnant: “I’ve grown paranoid and prejudiced. Since the brave American patriots of Company W shot my house to pieces, parts of the country I once relished for rural flavor and the wholesome lifestyle I grew up in now feel to me like haven’s for men whose beliefs have been pretzel twisted until they justified opening fire on the home of a law enforcement officer…It is a testament to Seaborne’s prowess as a writer that Will’s paranormal abilities exist seamlessly (for the most part) right alongside the hyper-realistic, grounded action plot that swirls around him. While the novel functions much more solidly as an action thriller than a superhero story, the two genres coexist comfortably, ultimately coming together to form a tale that’s equal parts heartfelt and intriguing.
“Another slickly-plotted, adrenaline-fueled installment...” — Kirkus Reviews
“Seaborne’s twelfth Divisible Man thriller kicks off with welcome vigor, starting with a desperate chase, high stakes, interlocking mysteries, and chapters that fly by, all as series hero Will Stewart takes flight on the trail of his dear friend, Pidge, whose identity may have been compromised by the militant white supremacist group Company W. (She embarrassed them, anonymously, in an earlier entry.) The setup briskly invites in new readers in while reminding fans why they have stuck with the series—yet again, Seaborne makes the process of launching a prop plane tense and exciting, and the cast of pilots and law enforcement pros he reintroduces on the (literal) fly proves, as always, irresistible. That dazzling set piece is just the start, though, as Twelfth Knight soon finds Will and his friends rushing to take on Company W in Texas, where a young woman has been murdered—and Company W might have support in the highest echelons of state government.
“Helping Will is dangerous because Will could be—according to feds—“the greatest threat to our national security since Bin Ladin” due to his supernatural powers: the ability to vanish and to unshackle himself from gravity. Seaborne again finds fresh uses for these skills, but his series, admirably, sources its thrills in many other places, too, especially aviation action, smart detective work, and relationships that humanize the superheroics.
”Swift, vigorous action thriller in a series that continues to soar.” — Readers’ Favorite
