However, even without the politics, the Drinker criticizes the excessive amounts of remakes of lower quality, diluting what made the originals great and adding nothing good to the IP, such as Cruella and Mulan. I'm happy to say that, as far as I'm concerned, Jordan has navigated these many potential pitfalls most dexterously. Hello again Mr Jordan. You probably know that I got Ghost Target for my smartphone on Android Google Play Books. I read it and finished it. My verdict? I loved the book. We don't have to lie down and accept the gradual erosion of our art, entertainment and culture. The decline can be reversed through the most fundamental mechanism of all: Money. You can have all the political ideology you want, but ultimately the market wants what the market wants. If enough people refuse to support products like this, and instead give their money to studios and developers and artists whose only goal is to tell good stories, then Hollywood will have a simple choice: Listen to your market or go out of business.

Born in 1983, Will Jordan hails from Fife in Scotland where he still lives to this very day, growing up in the region and taking in a lot from his surrounding environment during his upbringing, right up until he became a writer. He always had a strong interest in computers and information technology, a passion which is clearly reflected throughout the ongoing themes displayed in his books and narratives, featuring heavily, as they are used by his colorful cast of characters. Later on he was to develop his interest in military technology and hardware, which led him towards getting the inspiration for writing his novels. With many major publications singing Jordan’s praises, most are drawn towards his sense of suspense. That and his ability to create action set-pieces which are highly visceral and entertaining for his readers to experience, is what many readers have come to appreciate, as he gains fans both far and wide. The career of Will Jordan is growing from strength-to-strength due to this, something that doesn’t appear to stopping anytime soon.The thing that was most important for Cain (and I suppose, any antagonist in my books) was to give him a logical goal that the reader can identify with. Cain's not out to topple governments or kill innocent civilians for the sake of being evil - he's pursuing a bigger objective that will gradually become clear as the story unfolds.

As for how long the series has left, that's tough to say! I'm contracted for at least 3 more books by my UK publisher, and there are certainly a few more scrapes for Drake to get into along the way. Obviously every story to end eventually, but as for Drake himself... well, there are a lot of places I plan to take his character development first. That's what I enjoy most about this series - watching Drake and his companions change and develop with each book. For Ryan Drake, this is just the beginning as the sniper is revealed to be Anya – the rogue former CIA agent he helped rescue from prison nearly two years earlier. Now she has allied herself with an elusive but deadly new terrorist group bent on the utter destruction of the Russian government. Another variation is to fix an entire storyline, rather than a specific character. In this version, a general fix is made on various plot points and story arcs, into something that makes more sense and works better as a storyline, while still keeping true to the general idea of the original. This variation was introduced with Season 8 of Game of Thrones and utilized again with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Yes, Cain is very much the Big Bad of this series, and there were three aspects of his character that were important to me: In other words, The Drinker takes a character that's considered broken, and "fixes" that character in the context of the story itself to make the character more in line with how the character should be portrayed, either consistent with their past portrayal or to make an already bland character interesting. First, the Drinker assesses the flaws of the character, and then analyzes what established traits can be used as the basis to repair them, before presenting his new and improved version of the character in a rewrite of the story they're in.
