INTEMPERANCE VIII - Living in Limbo
by Al Steiner
Language: English
Categories: Fiction » Literature
Content Rating: Older than 17
The eighth book in the ongoing Intemperance series about a group of rock and roll musicians who rise from the club scene in a small city to international fame and infamy through the 1980s and onto the 2000s. After a successful reunion tour the band members once again go their separate ways, but with plans to do it all again soon. Matt Tisdale continues to deal with deteriorating health and no desire to change his lifestyle to halt the slide. Jake Kingsley navigates a sticky situation with Celia Valdez-Kingsley and Laura Kingsley. Several new characters are introduced as we follow the characters through a year of life leading up to the conclusion of the story, which will take place in Book 9. A very character driven insight into the day to day lives of the rich and infamous.

It is a transitional work in the Intemperance series. If you haven't read the complete series from the start, you will not like this story. I liked it because I have read the complete series from the start. Progression is fantastic. For fun, as I read this story, I wrote down some random song titles for the next. Here goes: "Inability to Learn" Korea to Vietman to Iraq to even Ukraine. "On your Side" Is your God on your side? "Last Cell on the Left" Sorta like been in 20 years with life to go. Forgotten by all. "Mother My I" Screwed up childhood. "Home Grown Hominy" Living as others want. "Plans" Every plan you make fails. "Only Losers Protect Women" Modern society in general. "Dark Place" Play acting through life but not living what you really think. "Depth Charge" Leaving CHAOS behind you.darren_d_evans

Possibly not the best in the series but definitely a great read and a great continuation of the series. I’ll buy the next when it comes out - worth it!!rodolphe
Bittersweet good read

A bit of a transitional tome in the saga, it has to me a slightly bittersweet undercurrent. Some old faces and some new ones gravitate around our core heroes for another of Al Steiner’s very enjoyable reads.
