I just did a quick search regarding the upcoming James Patterson novel of The Shadow. I thought the first place I looked was a mistake Goodreads) but then I went to a listing on Amazon and got the same story outline.
Even time cannot stop the Shadow.
Only two people know
Lamont Cranston's secret identity as the Shadow, a vigilante of justice:
his greatest love, Margo Lane -- and his fiercest enemy, Shiwan Khan.
Then Khan ambushes the couple, who have the slimmest chance of survival
... in the uncertain future.
A century and a half later, Lamont
awakens in a world both unknown and disturbingly familiar. The first
person he meets is Maddy Gomes, a teenager with her own mysterious
secrets, including a more than passing familiarity with the legend of
the Shadow.
Most disturbing, Khan's power continues to be felt
over the city and its people. No one in this new world understands the
dangers of stopping him better than Lamont Cranston. He also knows he's
the only one who stands a chance. The Shadow must prove that he's not
only a super crime-fighter, but an icon.
If this is true then I am truly saddened. I was really hoping for adventures set, maybe, prior to The Living Shadow or in the early to mid 1930s. I hope this is just a bad joke or someone didn't vet the accuracy of a "rumor". Alas, what with the terrible treatment Dynamite Comics gave The Shadow, I fear this may be accurate.
