King #1 by Joshua Hail Fialkov

This is a dystopian romp featuring the supposed last human on Earth. Despite this, he actually works for a living – his job being to try and head-off alien incursions onto Earth, which is absurd, because Earth is not entirely populated by aliens or mutants, or mythological beasts and gods.

The story (if it can be called a story at all) was very short, which was a blessing, because it really wasn’t very interesting. It was really nothing more than a testosterone-infused blend of conflict and fighting, smarth-mouthing, and bitching about stuff throughout. It didn’t make for an appealing story at all.

The monsters he took on were uninspired and not entertaining. Karate robot bear? Seriously? I couldn’t find anything to like here and I can’t recommend it.
