About the Author

Diane Duane is a mainstay on the New York Times bestseller list. She is the author of such novels as Spock's World, Dark Mirror, and the popular Wizard fantasy series. She has written two other novels featuring Spider-Man, The Venom Factor and The Octopus Agenda, and is hard at work on a hardcover novel featuring the X-Men. She lives in Ireland with her husband and several cats.

From AudioFile

This is a fully realized performance of Duane's book, and, like the original comic book series, it's fast-paced, vapid, exciting and loud, with ridiculous dialogue and fantastic situations. It's just what it purports to be. The background sound effects are particularly realistic, from swamp noises to a gantry at Cape Canaveral, with many bullets in between. The characters...well, if you were pining at home with your child for a husband who has turned into a big lizard and can't turn back, how would you behave? The actors do the best they can with writing that, given the premises, is pretty good. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
