jazzy_daveBook 73 - Christopher Golden "The Lost Slayer - King Of The Dead" (Pocket Books)
Buffy-at-nineteen and Buffy-at-twenty-four, merged into the 24-year-old body, have escaped from captivity and learned that Giles is now king of the vampires. His plan includes slowly taking over the world by turning those in power. Buffy and her friends, now hardened, cynical versions of themselves, must mount an attack to stop him. The biggest question is whether Buffy will be able to kill the demon that has inhabited the body of her former Watcher.
The dialogue sparkles almost as much as if it had been written by Joss himself. The beauty of the novel form is that they can depict situations that would be far too expensive in terms of production budgets to have produced for television. However, the combat scenes are somewhat lacking in that it is hard to picture what's written. Still, a very enjoyable expansion of the mythology, with characters that are true to form and a very fascinating plot.
