The other Human Target book improved on second read; this one maybe drops a few notches, because the quick changes and identity crises and big reveals aren't so shocking anymore. But it's Sunset Strip noir with a psychosexy undercurrent, and Milligan still has his way of sketching broken people in a way that breaks your heart using only a few words, and then doing horrible things to them.
