Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
Checkwolf is a crimefighting organization, a group of talented vigilantes who have come together to battle corruption in their own way. Led by the enigmatic Sean Matts, this group of a dozen skilled men venture out into a small-scale area in the fictional metropolis named Kewanee, righting wrongs that the police are unable to touch. Initially, they operate from a small garage owned by one of the Checkwolf members, the epitome of a minor operation. But Sean Matts has a greater vision for his group, one that will take them from their humble beginnings and turn them into a force to be feared.
The Checkwolf series is a collection of stories chronicling the activities of Checkwolf's third phase, from its mainstream recognition to its full integration. Book 1 is a group of general stories: getting to know Checkwolf and their methods as they gain mainstream recognition, watching them learn and adapt to new situations.

I think the comments on this book are a bit interesting. They aren't the things I would have nitpicked about, and already just a few episodes in to the story some of the things I didn't like so much are fading out in place of better story and plot with tighter characters. It seems the author was trying to introduce a lot in a short amount of time and wasn't always successful at it. He tried to build a lot of emotional drama with the death of a team member early on in an effort for us to get to know the character better, I don't think he was so successful, because at the same time he was introducing villains and secondary characters and setting up the world. Overall a bit awkward. But since that is mostly behind us now I've enjoyed the last several episodes and am looking forward to more.By: jAckdAndy
I've actually read the later books and it does get alot better. It's amazing how far comics have come since that "square-jawed radio adventure"-era of the 1940s. Other than The Tick, Watchmen is the only good comic. From Dick Grayson to Walter Kovacs? Come on. I think the first book is satire. Well, I hope it is anyway. It's like the Hardy Boys meets the X-Men or something. As far as the "politically-sanctioned lawlessness," isn't that the modern-day parallel of the blatant propaganda comics contained in the 1940s and 50s?By: electric
What's the writing style, you say? Well so far you've got a team of vigilantes, a crazy new weapon, flight, and robots. Sounds like a comic book to me, minus any superheroes. And comics always ask you to "suspend your disbelief" to a certain extent, to "buy in" to a world. A cliched example, but a good example still, is men running around in tights. Both unrealistic and unintentionally funny. But you suspend your disbelief. And i'm willing to suspend mine here too.
