Will Nihgate aka Dusk is a vigilante. His greatest enemy is John Skeleton. They have been battling each other for a long time. The recent disappearance of people has lead Dusk to Skeleton. Dusk ends up in one of Skeleton's traps. Thank goodness for friends and allies as just as Dusk is about to drown, he is rescued by his friends, Phantom, Zephyr, Savior, Zombie, and Golem. Sadly, Skeleton escapes. There is always next time. For now Dusk turns back into Will and returns to his normal life. Dusk learns that Skeleton's ally, Black Wind is mass-manufacturing a gun from Skeleton's design. If Black Wind is not stopped it could mean doom.

Wow, this book was way better than I thought it would be. To be honest, I was intrigued by this book because of the awesome book cover but didn't really spend much time on the book concept. So when I finally got the chance to read the book, I was like "Ok, let's see how this book goes." I have read several superhero type books but they have been just alright. This one is like it really was a comic book series that had been turned into a book. I could not stop reading it. There was tons of action and I loved all of the characters both good and evil. The ending was a true comic book ending. One that leads me to hope that the author does continue with Dusk in future books. Due to the authors love of comics, he really brought to life his characters and it showed in this book. Magnificent Things is a must-read/must-have book!. Fans of comic books and sci-fi will enjoy this book.… (mais)
