.The Unnatural Inquirer: A Novel of the Nightside

by: Simon R. Green

January 02, 2008
Simon Green has a way with words, and his imagination can create creatures and monsters like few others. And this novel is no exception.
Apart from that this novel is disappointing.

Simon Green follows his standard recipe : John Taylor is paid to find something and naturally succeed. A lot of very powerful beings want to stop him, but whenever John Taylor gets into a tight corner he uses his gift. Why does Simon Green even bother to invent these terrible monsters, if all John Taylor need to do to deal with them is to use his gift for finding things?

Even John Taylors interaction with his companion on the mission is strangely flat and routine. Perhaps because we know from the start that a love affair with someone ... Read More:

.The Man With The Golden Torc: Secret Histories Book 1: Man with the Golden Torc Bk. 1 (Gollancz S.F.)

by: Simon R. Green

August 14, 2008
Simon R Green ,as any fan of his writing will already know, is the author of the phenomenally entertaining "Deathstalker" series. He would always be hard pressed to top that so it should come as little surprise that his latest novel -an attempt to fire up a new saga pales into comparison when set against the exploits of Owen Deathstalker and company.
The Man With The Golden Torc ,as the title hints is an attempt to mesh together the spy genre with the supernatural thus we find Shaman Bond (yes really) aka Eddie Drood acting as a field agent for his family who have been protecting humanity from all kind of nefarious and unpleasant paranormal and mystical beasties . The torc refers to the device around his neck which allows him to armour up ... Read More:

.Into the Nightside (Nightside Series)

by: Simon R. Green

August 07, 2008
This volume collects the first two Nightside novels, 'Something from the Nightside' and 'Agents of Light and Darkness'.

They are dark fantasy romps - perhaps my only gripe is that John Taylor, the hero, is too powerful, some personal suffering along the lines of Harry Dresden or Felix Castor may have helped.

.Swords of Haven: The Adventures of Hawk & Fisher (Hawk & Fisher Omnibus)

by: Simon R. Green

June 06, 2006
A supposedly married couple, who never spend any time alone. A couple patrolling like constables, but with the strangely high rank of Captain. A couple of cops who only carry a sword and an axe - so who needs nightsticks? There are few connections between the chapters of the original novels, or between the three novels in the trilogy. Good rousing action scenes, but that's all; no character development, no changing plot, no reason to re-read Simon Green.
