His father, a TV sports producer, and his mother, a former professional dancer, were very supportive—as long as he completed his college education. Having reached his goal in his late teens, King toured the world as part of a famous dance troupe, but his travels exposed him to a world full of famine, poverty, violence, prejudice and lack of faith.

Getting special training and technological support in the form of a stealth-circuitry-enhanced costume, King became Orpheus — a force against evil and ignorance.

An interesting story which I found a departure from the other Batemans that I have read. It rolls along reasonably and the main characters are well defined and sufficiently different. His Orpheus Rising sardonicism still shines through, albeit with less humour than other stories. I liked the turn of the story in the back third of the book as well. Orpheus Rising good three and a Orpheus Rising stars stars. I die in the end. Even though quite Orpheus Rising few guys aren't happy to witness it, they become a couple and get married. But their luck doesn't Orpheus Rising, because Claire is murdered at a bank robbery. After that Michael ups and leaves town and only comes back 10 years later to attend a memorial in the victims' honor. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Claire, right t "You have to understand this. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Claire, right there in Orpheus Rising, though. Could she still be alive? I have seriously mixed feelings about this book. Initially, I was really confused as to the sudden turn of events, which I absolutely did not see coming and thought to be really odd. But as the story went on, I learned to enjoy the way it was going. Until the end, that is. I am not sure, I agree Orpheus Rising that. The characters I did not particularly like. Ambrose, Michael's companion, a cheating drunk and full-of-himself Pulitzer winner, I probably disliked the most. Also, I can't quite understand the Orpheus Rising about Claire. Why is everybody just dying to be with Orpheus Rising By no means did this novel blow my mind, but once you've made it through the first half of it, it really picks up its speed and Orpheus Rising an interesting, sometimes funny, all in all enjoyable read. Funny thiller with supernatural and romantic elements My second Colin Bateman, and he's got a winning way. Preferred Mystery Man but this had some great moments and characters, and I Orpheus Rising love the way he winds up Orpheus Rising an Agatha Christie. Michael's wife was Orpheus Rising 10 years ago, his publisher writes that he is now dead himself. With that bookend, we move Orpheus Rising Michael's own notes to his publisher, telling his story of past and present, of how he met his wife, when she was with a rather dangerous Funny thiller with supernatural and romantic elements My second Colin Bateman, and he's got a winning way. With that bookend, we move between Michael's own notes to his publisher, telling his story of past and present, of how he met Orpheus Rising wife, when she was with a rather dangerous boyfriend, and their life together. That sounds rather simple, but actually, the story gets rather complicated, as the title might suggest - as Michael in the present day decides to investigate her murder further, Orpheus Rising triggers a series of events leading to both other deaths and possibly the uncovering of a secrets a town has been sitting Orpheus Rising. Entertaining, it's Orpheus Rising I had to concentrate on audio is always more of a challenge for thisbut I did enjoy the characters, and even the supernatural past was quite fun. I would definitely listen to more of Bateman's books, they are genre-defiant and neither crime thriller nor comic family stories, picking elements of both. Clever structure that worked, and it kept my attention throughout. Well read by the CD's narrator as well. Dec 30, Philip rated it really liked it. A while back Colin Bateman's 'people' decided to give him a rebrand. His first name was removed from his books and he simply became Bateman; I guess Colin just wasn't a feasible name for an author sorry Mr Dexter. Another part of this rebrand was to give all his books a consistent look - they would have black covers with some simple, single coloured graphics addressing points in the book and a catchy tagline. That's all fine. But what if the author tries something a bit different? Orpheus R A while back Colin Bateman's 'people' decided to give him a rebrand. Orpheus Rising has that very problem. I think I've read most of Bateman's books by now and I would describe them mostly as capers. There's usually some unwilling or incompetent or both hero at the centre and he gets through the plots of these books by luck, accident or alcohol- induced fate. Orpheus Rising is more serious in tone from the outset. The hero is a best-selling author who has done a Salinger and dropped off the map after his one big successful book. At the centre of the story is a tragic love story that isn't played for laughs. This is Bateman with a straight face and that love story is very well observed. Not that there aren't Orpheus Rising funny lines in there, there are, but the tone of the book is more sombre, and even dips into supernatural territory in the second half - something else neither Bateman, nor his previous skin Colin Bateman, ever explored. It's an experimental novel for the NI author and that's why I think his rebrand doesn't fit. It's all true, but it's the wrong approach. So this wasn't what I was expecting from a Bateman book, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. It's definitely an oddity in the Bateman-verse? Oct 04, Camshachle rated it it was amazing. Possibly my favourite book ever. Batman's typical funny writing Orpheus Rising with a huge depth of emotion and a story that I don't want to touch on so much because it's a story with lots of potential spoilers. Mar 14, Charlotte Beauvoisin rated it really liked it. A great romp. Interesting characters and a good pace throughout. I loved the bitter relationship between the two writers Michael Ryan and Ambrose. So mean!
