Synopsis

The incredible finale of the page-turning, high-octane Sandman Slim series filled with an explosive ending and intense kick-ass action from New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey.

It’s been three months since Stark stopped a death cult and a potential ghost apocalypse, and he’s at loose ends. His personal life is a mess. His professional life isn’t much better. And the world…well, the world is going to shit. L.A. is gripped by a viral epidemic that has everyone wearing masks and keeping their distance from each other. But what’s even more frightening is the Shoggot gang and their leader, King Bullet, who revels in the city’s collapse.Who is King Bullet? No one knows. He seemingly came from nowhere with nothing but a taste for mayhem and an army of crazed killers who follow his every command. What king wants seems simple on it face: Chaos. Destruction. A city in flames. But there’s more to the king and his plans for L.A. and what Stark discovers will change Heaven, Earth, and Stark himself forever.

If I were forced to sum up the final Sandman Slim novel, “King Bullet,” in one word (okay, two) it would be “contractually obligated.” I get it. After 12 books, maybe that well has dried up or venturing back into the gritty LA of Stark and gang might feel depressing (esp. given the current state of t......more

Goodreads review by David on May 04, 2021

It’s been 12 years, and as many books, and now we’ve come to this—King Bullet, the final novel in Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim saga. I approached this with excitement, because hey, it’s a new Sandman Slim novel, but also trepidation and a tinge of sadness, because hey, it’s the last Sandman Slim no......more

Goodreads review by Justin on August 18, 2021

so, it’s probably a good thing this is all done and over with. this one was just a painful read to get through. the best part was Stark doing a heist with the devil. that actually had me giggling a bit. (hence the second star) unfortunately, other than that it was more of the same. lots of self pity......more

Goodreads review by Chloe on May 13, 2023

I recommend stopping reading the series at book 10, and not bothering with the last 2 books. Meh. Just felt like Stark pinballing from fight to fight. Wasn't a point to it. Changing Janet from a manipulative thrill seeker to a complaining timid damsel in distress made them even more annoying. How ar......more
