Book Review: Dynamic Detectives
Summary: 5 Stars

Michael Jan Friedman has also written JUSTICE LEAGUE: IN DARKEST NIGHT, the second book in the series based on the Cartoon Network hit television show. In addition to the comic- and cartoon-based novels, Friedman has written more than 160 comic books. The author has also contributed to Star Trek Starfleet Year One, Star Trek the Original Series, Star Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Star Trek Voyager, as well as several mini-series within the franchise. He also wrote the only Star Trek Next Generation/X-Men crossover. Other novels spawned from comic book properties include a Fantastic Four adventure: THE REDEMPTION OF THE SILVER SURFER, Superman novels, and X-Men novels. He's also a contributor to the Wishbone adventures, displaying a versatility and wide interest.

WINGS OF WAR is a fast-paced and exciting read. With the quick cuts back and forth among the characters the novel feels very much like one of the cartoon episodes. Readers who sit down with this novel will probably read straight through the adventure, or long to get back to the book during those time it has to be put aside. The author does a really good job of showcasing each character a little, and doing a lot of character interplay between Batman and Hawkgirl. Plenty of action and superpowers fill the pages, building exciting images in a reader's head, but the mystery that is presented for Batman and Hawkgirl is well done, allowing each of them to step forward and be the lead detective at one time or another. Each is allowed his and her expertise.

Fans of the comic book series or cartoon series will definitely want to pick this book up. In addition to showcasing Batman and Hawkgirl, the story is fun and quick, just the way an episode plays out. Parents will want to pick this book up for reluctant readers who enjoy the television show. Friedman's style and delivery are highly visual and those reluctant readers will have no problem at all imagining the adventures that the super-heroes share.
