Product Description: The Rising Stars saga marches on in this stellar paperback! See Special Matthew Bright and his career as a super-powered cop and "ghost detective" Lionel Zerb confront the Well of Souls!
Graphic SF Reader This trade comprises two Rising Stars mini-series. Bright, about Matthew Bright and his struggles to be accepted as a police officer, even though he was a Special and Lionel Zerb, who was not a big fan of his power.
Lionel could talk to the dead, so could find out and be horrified a lot of information that others could not.
Difficult Amazon makes this one a little hard to find. The correct title for this is Rising Stars Voices of the Dead-Bright. If you do a search for that, you get a book on the Dead Sea Scrolls. That aside, this is an interesting read that gives some backstory to 2 interesting characters. If you have read the main series, then you know what is in store for the specials, but it is fun to read about their adventures again. The first story concerns Lionel Zeb who can see and interact with ghosts. The second has to do with Matthew Bright who is a superman type of character who really want to help people, but has to hide his powers and identity to join the police force. Avery is a good writer, maybe not quite as deft as J Michael, but she does a fine job with the characters. There is nothing earth shaking about either of these stories, but if you enjoy Rising Stars and want a little more history, then these are for you.
