Synopsis

On several occasions, a half-dozen of Spider-Man's greatest enemies have banded together as the Sinister Six. Now, at the behest of a deadly benefactor known only as the Gentleman, the Chameleon has been tasked with assembling a new Sinister Six with the most ambitious scheme yet! Soon, he has recruited the Vulture, freed Electro and Dr. Octopus from prison, and been joined by the Gentleman's mysterious ward, Pity. That only leaves Mysterio, but the master of illusion has a plan of his own. A number of Hollywood people have been targeted for murder, including the cast and crew of Fatal Action 4, the latest acting vehicle for Spider-Man's wife, Mary Jane! Spidey must halt Mysterio's deadly rampage before more lives are claimed. But even that may not be enough to stop the gathering of the Sinister Six!

About Adam-Troy Castro

Adam-Troy Castro has said in interviews that he likes to jump genres and styles and has therefore refused to ever stay in place long enough to permit the unwanted existence of a creature that could be called a "typical" Adam-Troy Castro story. As a result, his short works range from the wild farce of his Vossoff and Nimmitz tales to the grim Nebula nominee "Of a Sweet Slow Dance in the Wake of Temporary Dogs." His twenty prior books include a nonfiction analysis of the Harry Potter phenomenon, four Spider-Man adventures, and three novels about his interstellar murder investigator, Andrea Cort (including a winner of the Philip K. Dick Award, Emissaries from the Dead). Adam's other award nominations include eight Nebulas, two Hugos, and three Stokers. Adam lives in Florida with his wife, Judi, and three insane cats named Uma Furman, Meow Farrow, and Harley Quinn.

Goodreads review by Blake on August 19, 2020

Given the title, I really thought there would be more regarding the Sinister Six. So, I was disappointed in that regard. All of the stuff about the old man who is gathering the six was really interesting, but I wanted to know more, see more. Instead we got this, rather slow honestly, Mysterio story......more

Goodreads review by Neil on September 21, 2024

This was an okay book. I know it's supposedly the first book of a trilogy, but it mostly focuses on Mysterio after introducing the Gentleman and Pity, so I do not really consider it the first book in a trilogy. Not only that, but the "second" and "third" books have been released together in a combin......more

Goodreads review by Adam on February 20, 2021

The first of the Sinister Six trilogy of text novels by Adam-Troy Castro finds a sinister "Gentleman" gathering together the Sinister Six, but one of them-Mysterio is launching a deadly plot of his own against the acting community. I have to admit that this book did kind of pull the rug out from unde......more
