PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Possible Interest

Amazon.com: Omega Blue eBook: Mel Odom: Kindle Store: Set in the future a step past tomorrow, in a United States that's bleak and hard and crime runs rampant in the streets, there's only on team to call on. Omega Blue, the FBI's premiere hardcases take down crime too big or too dangerous for the average law enforcement agencies.

Tracking down a group of organ jackals dealing in the Red Market (organ harvesting), Slade Wilson goes head-to-head with an Asian gang sporting exo-skeletons and fighting to keep a secret agenda hidden from prying eyes. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, driven to succeed, Wilson and his team of specialists keep the pedal to the metal as they race toward doomsday.

I wonder if Mel Odom knows that Slade Wilson is the "real" name of DC comics supervillian Deathstroke

Mel's a comics reader. He might know.

Maybe he did. Or maybe he forgot, but the name stuck in his unconscious. I once wrote a short story (that's been rejected a dozen times) and unintentionally used a name of a friend from childhood.

I don't know how the book is but the blurb is fantastic.
