Anderson – The co-author of many a DUNE book, Anderson’s been given the go-ahead by DC Comics to write a full-length novel treatment of the final days of the planet Krypton, from which an infant named Kal-El escaped, only to come to Earth and grow up to be Superman. Sure, I suppose we know how it will end, but when Anderson plays around with iconic fiction (i.e. THE MARTIAN WAR), the results are assuredly entertaining.

Both take well-established literary creations and reimagine them in new tales of the fantastic in a historically accurate setting. So I gave GENTLEMEN a chance, even if its team-fights-for-the-world plot is nothing fresh. Half its appeal is in reading the exploits of classic characters like Allan Quatermain, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. After all, H.G. Wells and Robert Louis Stevenson’s aren’t pumping out new stories anymore, so why shouldn’t someone else take up the slack?
