A very good thriller story with all essential ingredients of noir fiction and stories about vigilante justice.

Synopsis

Nomadic construction worker Vlad inadvertently gains superpowers and enters ultratime after guzzling a radioactive energy drink he finds near the nuclear-disaster site of Chernobyl. Svetlana, an army veteran coping with PTSD, sees Vlad crash back into real time, finds him unconscious, and saves his life. They bond over this secret, fall in love, and decide to use the stash of energy drinks to fight evil as the superhero duo HyperVigilanté.

Both sci-fi adventure and love story, this David-versus-Goliath tale set in Russia is rife with pop culture references from video games, movies, TV series, music, and even scripture. A fun and funny mash-up of Russian and American cultures, it's a wild ride with Vlad and Svetlana as they battle mobsters, terrorists, and corrupt politicians while building a new life together.

If you want the explosive action of the Equalizer paired with the awkward nerdiness of Napoleon Dynamite and served with a side of Easter eggs like Ready Player One, then HyperVigilanté belongs in your hands! Buy yourself a copy! An early reader of the book said, "A good book makes me consider how the characters would react to real world situations. You've made me do that with Vlad and Svetlana."

The story “HyperVigilanté” by Link Rayburn is surely to capture the reader’s attention as being one of the best in vigilante justice and urban noir theme. The tone of the new is serious and rather gloomy, the story takes place in the scape filled with violence and the main characters are rather differentiated that does not let the reader get bored.

Plot and Setting: It features a film in a post apocalyptic society with high rates of crime and corruption in the society. HyperVigilanté is a street-level hero operating outside the law who seeks to claim vengeance against the urban, criminal syndicate that has engulfed the city’s population. The environment is described well as Rayburn gives depiction of the city that is almost in ruins and the street is filled with the kind of people that the main character is forced to interact with.

Characters: HyperVigilanté comprises several elements, and it can be regarded as a composite character. While the show boasts of superhero elements such as Abstractas, justice seeking, corruption fighting, and generally being indestructible, the strongest aspect of the show is the internal war within the protagonist. Additional supporting characters, including a tired detective and a dogged reporter, add depth to the story as do their goals and reasons for being involved.

Writing Style: They will also note that Rayburn has a very good talent for writing that creates suspense and tension. The conversations are sharp and seem to express real life situations and this adds to the rather raw nature of this book. These are exceptionally described without compromising with the pace of the story so that a reader can feel he or she is part of the world created by the author without being overwhelmed.

Themes: ”HyperVigilanté” reflects on issues of justice, morality and the battle between the right and wrong and between a hero and an anti-hero vigilante. The novel poses the problems of reasonableness of relying on police action and the role of vigilantism in the modern society. Rayburn’s successfully presents these issues and challenges the reader with questions about the justice in the flawed system.

Pacing: The pace of the whole novel is maintained well, there are episodes filled with vigorous activities followed by thoughtful processes and detailed descriptions of the hero’s inner world. This rhythm enriches the reader’s experience at the same time extends one’s comprehension of the characters and their actions.

Critique: ”Beneath the Surface,” however, although it is engaging to read, “HyperVigilanté” sometimes seems to borrow from the hard-boiled cop/mature superhero clichés that can be found in numerous cyberpunk texts: the contaminated city, the lone ranger. These are tried and tested clichés, but Rayburn has written in such an engaging way and developed a deep and interesting main character that it does not feel like a cliché at all.

Conclusion: HyperVigilanté written by Link Rayburn is a satisfying thriller that includes all essential ingredients of noir fiction and stories about vigilante justice. Due to its intriguing character and structural design, the movie belongs to the works that depict the shades of grey considered to be classical for the given genre. The author Rayburn knows how to spin a good story that not only is filled with non-stop action but also has food for thought, to make the audience look forward to the next volumes of the series.
