review 1: Maxwell grew up on the streets. No friends no family no hope but plenty of guilt. Over the years he has tried helping some of the rent boys on the street. When he sees one trapped by a huge thug, in the alley Maxwell is sitting above, he decides to help. Battered and bruised a little while later the rent boy is all over him thanking him. Maxwell goes back to his place on the fire escape to sleep.Nick is a beat cop who thinks he might make detective soon. He is kind, thoughtful and always helps his neighbor. One morning the neighbor say someone on the fire escape so Nick went to check it out. He opened the window and saw a homeless person. The person ran. Nick sees a dead body in the alley. He chases the homeless person to the park. Nick brings Maxwell in but the cops let h... moreim go a few hours later. He finds out that all the lab work was rushed thru to get him back on the street.Terrance Setorii is a big time drug dealer ,possibly underground flesh peddler and a white collar criminal the police were after. But there were talks of dirty cops taking money from him. He was the one that kidnapped Maxwell and drugged him to shoot the cop. Now hes after Maxwell again and he threatened Nicks life too.I liked Nick and Maxwell and the storyline was great.
review 2: Why the heck doesn't this book have a higher rating? In the Shadow of a Hero is amazing. I seriously couldn't put it down. The main character was so unorthodox compared to most gay lit characters that I never saw the things he did coming. Plus, the writing is absolutely brilliant. The book is raw, real, and in no way fluffy - at any time - which is always a plus in my books. Seriously: brutal and exciting, plus very, very hot. The closest thing I've come to a dystopian gay lit (yay!). less
