Docteur Radar was originally published in its entirety in Europe, but Statix Press has made the decision to split the book into two parts. While its $4.99 price tag definitely lowers the barrier to entry for something thats already likely to be a niche product, I do wish I was immediately able to pick up the story in its entirety.

I kept waiting for some plot zinger, but none came. Read Full Review
