Another day. Another zombie T-Rex to put down. All part of the routine for Arthur Wallace and MI37—the government department devoted to battling threats magical, supernatural, extra-terrestrial, and generally odd. Except a zombie T-Rex is only the first of his problems... Before Arthur can say, “But didn’t I save the world yesterday?” a new co-director at MI37 is threatening his job, middle-aged Russian cyborg wizards are threatening his life, and his co-workers are threatening his sanity.

After saving the Earth from the Lovecraftian horrors of the first book, Arthur Wallace & the team from MI37 must now stop time travelers from the Soviet Union who are attempting to change the time stream in order to achieve Soviet supremacy.If you haven't yet read No Hero, that would be recommended before trying Yesterday's Hero. Wood does very little to bring new readers up to speed. I think that you would probably be a bit lost.It's impossible to evaluate series titles without reference to the other books in the series. In this case, I have to feel that Yesterday's Hero comes out rather poorly. While there were some issues with character development in No Hero, I felt that it was rather excusable considering that it was the first book in the series. Unfortunately, rather than delve more deeply into the characters already introduced, Wood introduces more than a few new characters. The effect is that now we have a large number of underdeveloped characters, rather than a deepening relationship with any of the characters in the series.Additionally, the change in focus on the villains of the piece changed the tone considerably. While the Lovecraftian horrors of the first book provided a nice horror element, the Soviets of Yesterday's Hero seemed rather toothless in comparison. In fact, the entire premise of the villains struck me as rather hilarious. I found myself wishing that Wood had played up the comical nature of this threat.Still, many of the strengths of No Hero do carry over into this second title. The pacing was first rate, with action & intrigue propelling the reader through the story. The bureaucratic horrors of government work are further explored, and Wood does still provide the wit that was so charming in the No Hero.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One of my favorite books of 2012.... By The Qwillery I'm going to say this right up front: Yesterday's Hero is one of my favorite books of 2012. Why? Read on.In the second book featuring Arthur Wallace, former Oxford (England) detective and now MI37 agent, Jonathan Wood has written a fantastical story complete with evil Russian wizards, a save the world scenario, a scintillating and fast-paced plot, and most important, characters that I care about deeply. Jonathan Wood made me cry... more than once. And I can't tell you why. Let's just say I became so heavily invested in the characters that I really felt for them. I knew them from the first novel, No Hero, and got to know and understand them even more in Yesterday's Hero.The staff of MI37 is a collection of highly quirky individuals, each very well-written. Even the secondary characters from the first novel feel like old friends in Yesterday's Hero. In addition, a new set of characters fighting against the bad guys alongside of, but not with, the MI37 agents is introduced. Each of these characters is fascinating. Finally on the supposed good guy side there is one character in Yesterday's Hero that I absolutely despised, loathed and hated. He was brilliantly written, thoroughly awful and I was hoping he'd met a grisly death. You'll have to read the novel to see what happens to him.While Yesterday's Hero is chock full of action, there are moments when it is contemplative as well (sometimes in the midst of a lot of action). The story is told from Arthur's perspective so we are carried along on his train of thought throughout. Arthur is an unlikely hero, bumbling along at times, but always trying to do the right thing. Relying on his detective skills is never more important than in Yesterday's Hero.The story itself is engrossing and nail-bitingly tense at times. However, it's not all gloom, doom and destruction. There are moments of humor throughout. Yesterday's Hero moves at a steady clip as Arthur tries to save the world... again.Bottom Line: Yesterday's Hero is a beautifully written fast-paced Urban Fantasy with an engrossing story and characters you'll love to love and even love to hate.I give Yesterday's Hero 5 Qwills.
