Random violent murders or eerie otherworldly encounters…will
Vinn and Mal finally uncover what’s happening in Chicago? The Cosmic Killings by Thomas J. Thorson is a
mind-boggling yet believable tale that touches upon controversial topics of
power dynamics, gender roles, and questionable beliefs in a well-paced,
digestible narrative.
Vinn and Mal, two vigilante investigators, are drawn by the
murder of an Amish teenager who is found with a missing skull bone at a zoo in
Chicago. While the officials are putting the case off as a random act of
violence, Mal and Vinn are investigating other possibilities. With several dead
ends and nothing of weight, the two are on the verge of giving up when,
suddenly, another bizarre murder occurs. This time, it’s a young suburban man
who shares no similarities with the Amish teenager, except for a minute detail
of the crime. The strange murders lead the two vigilantes to dive deeper into
the investigation. Although the officials are finding it hard to admit, the
murders point to the works of otherworldly creatures and take Mal and Vinn on
an adventure they could have never fully prepared for.
The Cosmic Killings by
Thomas J. Thorson is a tale that discusses the possibility of alien overlords,
linking it to ritual killings, the quest for immortality, cult philosophy,
domination, and salvation. The author’s exceptional depiction of Chicago adds
familiarity and comfort, while the narrative makes this hard-to-believe story
weirdly believable. The story explores several controversial topics and
presents a great deal of meticulous research by oddly likable protagonists,
making it an exciting read. It is a page-turner that stands out in its
originality; the writing is excellent and the bold and the characters are
unforgettable. The sense of mystery that permeates this narrative will continue
to haunt readers even after the last page is turned.
