Finished reading Constantine: The Voice in the Fire, this continues John Constantine's adventures as he travels around the world in hoping to defeat the Cult of the Cold Flame. The book opens with Constantine in Moscow to meet with Viktor Mironov, The Spellbinder who ends up joining him in his fight against the Cult of the Cold Flame after opening up Johns mind. Constantine then heads to Arizona after having a vision of a voice in a burning house calling to him. Constantine then finds himself in Hong Kong hoping to find out who taught his first spell that lead to the death of his own family. The next story has Constantine in a forest in Germany to meet with a mystic named Albrecht Zimmerman for protection against the Cult of the Cold Flame. However during a spell on Johns mind the Cult's leader Tannarak activates a kill switch inside of Constantine that was given to the Cult by Papa Midnite that causes John to be teleported to Tanzania in World World One. The final story set five years in the future, has Constantine face to face with the helmet of Fate as John hopes to defeat Nabu. While John's friend Lloyd is downstairs stopping people who are being drawn to the helmet to become its new host as Nabu is helpless without a host. Overall this was a decent book as it continues John Constantine's journey against the Cult of the Cold Flame after being distracted with the events of Forever Evil. The episodic style of the book works very well as it allows Constantine to interact with different people while still having the main story of the Cold Flame within the background of the book. While the changing art style works well for the book as it helps to give a different flavour to each part of the book that helps to strengthen each part as well. 6.5/10.
