KILLER OF KILLERS will be a great debut novel. I mean for my first book published, it's going to be an intense read. But it's not for everyone. It's not for kids, that's for sure. There is violence, but not over the top violence. There is killing, obviously, but not over the top killing. And there is sex, but not over the top sex.
So what do I mean by over the top violence, over the top killing, and over the top sex? Well has anyone out there seen the Starz TV series called Spartacus? There have been three seasons of it now. Well, if you have seen it, then you know what I mean by "over the top." In those Spartacus shows, there is over the top violence, killing, and sex. I mean the first thing they show as the credits begin is a spattering of blood across the screen with the title.
And that's what you get throughout the show. Blood spurting, pouring, drenching everywhere. Limbs hacked off, heads rolling, and it's consistent throughout all three seasons. But hey, I'm not criticizing it. I actually like it. I like all shows about the Roman Empire. I liked the old movies from the 50s and 60s, like Cleopatra, Ben Hur, and, yeah, Spartacus with Kirk Douglas.
But those movies are for kiddies compared to Starz' Spartacus. And the sex? Well, let's just say it's borderline pornographic. I'm no prude, and I know sex is a part of life. But to show it as much as Starz does in Spartacus? Well, it's over the top.
And Killer of Killers has it all. But again, it's not over the top. Not like Spartacus.
