I’m currently reading up on the FN Five-seveN, as I decided to give Jake one in Jake and the Dynamo 2: Dead to Rites. I always meant to let the poor kid have a gun sooner or later. It just took me longer than I expected.
Urbanopolis doesn’t disallow personal weapons; it’s just that they’re mostly worthless, since shooting a magical monster with a conventional firearm is a good way to earn yourself an instant, fiery death. And human-on-human crime is relatively rare, partly because implacable external enemies have bred unprecedented human cooperation and partly because most every serious crime is considered a form of treason that can get you a drumhead trial and a rapid execution.
There’s a bit more military action in this volume than in the one previous. I might need to bribe Kai Wai Cheah to read parts of it over for me to make sure it’s halfway plausible.
