Based on when this epulp was published the writer can either read tea leaves or is tuned into the zeitgeist because he clearly saw the spirit that manifested the Occupy Wall Street movement a few months before it arrived. I imagine that if Pandora Driver was still alive today she would be in sitting the thick of it.

This story takes place in the late 1930s and it's about holding the corrupted accountable for their dirty deeds. This story is raw, unbridled, honest, surprising and weird, in the good way. It exposes what people say and do behind closed doors. It pulls no punches and you never know what's coming next.

The story is broken into 4 parts. Part 1 is a biography of a life falling... More > apart. In Part 2 our hero finds her power. Part 3 explores deception and corruption. In Part 4 a young woman tries to untangle right from wrong.

The tone of the story reminded me of Black Dahlia or Sin City (updated noir) and LA Confidential (if they dumped the charm). The character makes me think, Batgirl born on the wrong side of the tracks.

I like the old pulps, I like Noir and I can take the punch this story delivers. Pandora Driver takes us on a bumpy ride but it's a trip worth taking. < Less
