Mr. Chestnut's first chapter succeeds in combining two genres which I've always had a (perhaps unsavory) love for - 60's spy movies and classic science fiction serials.  With imagery and characterization absolutely dripping with the sleek and sexy 60's style blended so well with action and aliens that would easily fit into a Buck Roger's adventure, To Live and Die in Avalon is such a joy to read that I can't wait for more.
