Publisher's Summary

In this explosive detective thriller, a 1930s vigilante finds himself in the late 21st century where he teams up with a mysterious teenager, whose looming secrets may impact both of their futures.

Only two people know that 1930s society man Lamont Cranston has a secret identity as the Shadow, a crusader for justice. One is his greatest love, Margo Lane, and the other is fiercest enemy, Shiwan Khan. When Khan ambushes the couple, they must risk everything for the slimmest chance of survival...in the future.

A century and a half later, Lamont awakens in a world both unknown and disturbingly familiar. The first person he meets is Maddy Gomes, a teenager with her own mysterious secrets, including a knowledge of the legend of the Shadow.

Most disturbing, Khan's power continues to be felt over the city and its people. No one in this new world understands the dangers of stopping him better than Lamont Cranston. And only the Shadow knows that he’s the one person who might succeed before more innocent lives are lost.

Shadow or Smudge?

I suppose this could be considered a graphic novel without the cartoon pictures, and while I recognize that James Patterson puts out books with prolific abandon, this seems like it was penned in an afternoon after reading too many Archie comics. Simple, sappy and predictable plot and meagrely character development, I stuck with it despite finding it almost unbearable. My ratings are based upon how I think 12-14 yr olds might like it.

The Shadow w/o any of the noir or mythos

If you always liked The Shadow but hated the supporting characters, adventure, noir, and most of the backstory then this poorly conceived story is for you. An umbelievable premise, shoddy to non-existent world building, and crazy power additions and dumb, over-used tropes are just the starting problems of this horrible attempt at legitimizing bad fan fiction with Patterson's name on it. much respect lost for him by putting his name on this god-awful molestation of The Shadow mythos.
