The first of an upcoming series, this book was full of an intriguing world that is a layer of Manhattan. This world consists of talking battle cockroaches, gods, and events that go unseen by humans. Our main character - Rory - is a "light" - one who can see this other world and can give that gift to others. He has a special part to play in the recent killings of gods, the entrapment of a native american group called the Munsees, and the key to releasing the trap. There's a ton more involved and it really was a captivating read. I just hope Mr. Mebus can finish the next book sooner than later. ( )
