If you're still visiting the Nightside you know what to expect. If not then this probably isn't the place to start, although it probably does stand alone without too much trouble, but you will miss out on the series (and other series) references.A decent four star read for people who like Simon R...
Having read many of the Nightside books, I generally get lost in this wonderful, dark world. John Taylor is a complex character and I love the noir-feel to his fantastical and usually horrific adventures. The Good, The Bad, and the Uncanny-though deliciously wicked and well written as always-was ...
It's always good to catch up with John Taylor and all the other colourful characters that live in the Nightside. In this instalment, John is hired by an elf who wants to get to the other side of the Nightside. Except, everyone knows you can't trust elves, and this one proves just that. Then, ther...
I really enjoyed this book. If you haven't read the series yet, I highly recommend starting at the beginning. Our man John Taylor is on the cusp of his wedding. He asks his secretary Cathy to find one more private investigator job for him to do, something that can be finished in one night. Wha...
I have found a couple of glitches with this fourth book as I am reading it.In book 3,Eddie tells Walker he plans to restart the bomb to destroy the Independent Agent's lair.In this book,items from the Independent agent's lair are being brought to the Old Library for study.We even see the Independ...
![Liebesgrüße Aus Der Hölle[Sein Job: Streng Geheim, Sein Auftrag: Jagd Auf Dämonen] (2010) by Simon R. Green](/i/cover.jpg)
This is the first one I found dragging a bit. The other thing that kind of bothered me was that the I had guessed the hidden villain far in advance of the reveal. OTOH, I suppose it's better than having the author present a villain we never suspected because of "hidden information" never given ...
I read other books by Simon R. Green before, and they run between pretty good and lousy. The closer they are to King Arthur alternate-futures, the better they seem to be, and the stories which are Arthur/Guinevere/Mordred In Space tend to be pretty bad.On the other hand, the title and the cover ...
Simon R. Green is my favorite author, and I can always count on him to give me a consistent character with Eddie Drood; quick as hell, romantic, funny, with just a touch of egotism. I love this guy. The love of his life, Molly Metcalf is just the kind of girl I want to hang out with, but would al...
Band 7 der Eddie Drood-Reihe von Simon R. Green steht wieder einmal unter dem Motto "James Bond meets Fantasy". Unter dem Tarnnamen Shaman Bond und mit einem ironischen Augenzwinkern lässt Green seinen Geheimagenten in einer Welt der übvernatürlichen Schurken und Geheimorganisationen ermitteln. I...
I think the best place to read this book would be on the tarmac of an airport while your waiting for the plane to take off. There's that time when you can't use electronic devices and your learning to how to buckle a seat belt for the billionth time, and opening Skymall will just make you mad thi...
I keep meeting JC, Melody and Happy in audio books. So far I have listened to the entire series. I liked this one. Happy is back on the pills, Kim is back, Melody feels like she has failed Happy and JC is the same as always. I love listening to the dialog and how they once again they succeed ...
Lady Luck has hired John Taylor to investigate the origins of the Nightside--the dark heart of London where it's always 3 A.M. But when he starts to uncover facts about his long-vanished mother, the Nightside--and all of existence-- could be snuffed out.
My name is John Taylor. I’m a PI for hire in the Nightside, the dark and corrupt city within the city of London. Where the sun never shines and where pleasure and horror are always on sale—for the right price.Not a nice place to visit or a nice place to live. So you wouldn’t think I would care th...
Blue Moon Rising by Simon R. Green- This is the first book of a series of stand-alone novels under the title of Forest Kingdom. However, each book is an entirely new story with different characters. The second book is called Blood and Honour and the third book is called Down Among the Dead. The t...
Well, I honestly don't know what to say about this one that doesn't give too much away. A general view, then, before I move into the heavy duty spoilers.Simon R. Green does not disappoint in this stunning, fantastic and wrenching conclusion to this part of the Deathstalker Saga. The delightful ba...
#3 Deathstalker series - Sci FiOwen Deathstalker, aristocrat and historian, has very reluctantly taken a major role in the rebellion against an oppressive and cruel Empire. He and his ragtag team of highly likeable and eccentric fighters return in Book 3, this time facing down the Empire on seve...
Our first mention of the Nightside is (in my paperback edition) on page's 10 and 11 where we learn that, "The Nightside is the secret, hidden, dark heart of the city. London's evil twin. It's where the really wild things are." From that point on, Green continues to write the phrase the Nightside ...
In the Nightside, the hidden heart of London where it's always 3 AM, Detective John Taylor must find an elusive singer known as The Nightingale. Her silken voice has inexplicably lured many a fan to suicide--and Taylor is determined to stop her, before the whole neighborhood falls under her tranc...
John Taylor just discovered his long-gone mother created the Nightside—the dark heart of London—and intends to destroy it. To save his birthplace, he will have to travel back through a very distant—and probably deadly—past.
The New York Times bestselling author takes readers back to the Nightside. A quest for the Unholy Grail-the goblet from which Judas drank at the Last Supper-takes private eye John Taylor deep into the secret, magical heart of London...called the Nightside.
Five stars stands for awesome, and that's what this book is! I loved it. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it as much as the Nightside series, but boy was I wrong.This book takes my love of James Bond spy movies and supernatural stories and makes a wonderful hybrid, but it has Simon R...
I love Simon R. Green's books. They're equal parts fantastic worlds, cringeworthy gore, and "I'm taking none of your crap" sass and humour. This is no exception. I found this book in a discount bin for $5 several years ago, and loved it pretty much from the get-go. Despite being book 2 in the For...
You'll never please everyone But in this case, the only thing that did not please me about "Beyond the Blue Moon" was that it ended. I've heard a lot of praise for "Blue moon Rising", the prequel to the Hawk and Fisher series, but I came upon that book only shortly before "Beyond ...
A decade ago, the Darkwood rose up and threatened to swallow the Forest Kingdom. It was driven back, but with great loss. Now a fort built on the border of the kingdom has gone silent and a small group of Rangers are sent to investigate, finding an evil more ancient than the demons of the Darkwoo...

J'ai pas vraiment l'hbaitude de lire des morceaux d'intégrales, mais celui-là était assez court, donc j'ai essayé. On y suit, dans trois tomes formés chacun d'une unique enquête, les agents Hawk et Fisher, maris et femmes (ça ne se voit pas vraiment dans les enquêtes, ils agissent plutôt comme de...
This book includes Three stories in one book: Wolf in the Fold, Guard Against Dishonor, The Bones of Haven. It is my understanding that all three have been previously published under a different title (Fear and Loathing in Haven) so if you’ve read that, you’ve already read this.Though I’m not usu...
Wow. Well. I'm so stunned and amazed that I'm going to skip over outlining the usual, slightly annoying but generally inconsequential faults of Simon R. Green's Deathstalker Saga and get straight to the point.This book, in all honesty, reminded me why I cannot put the series down. Perhaps becaus...
Toby Dexter. Il habite Bradford-sur-Avon, une vieille ville où il ne se passe rien. Tous les jours il va à son travail en prenant le train. Tous les jours il ouvre la porte de la librairie Gandalf pour travailler « ranger des retours, garnir des etageres, brancher l’aspirateur ». Tous les jours i...
Well, what can I say? I thought it was amazing. To be honest, this book is one of those that you think "Man, I'm not getting anywhere!" because it's so long, and then you get lost in it, and eventually look up and see how much you have read. There is literally always action, always something happ...
The author of Hawk and Fisher continues the danger begun in Mistworld. A mining colony on the distant planet Ghostworld has broken contact with the Empire. All transmissions are dead, like the planet itself. Captain John Silence leads an investigation to discover the cause--and what he finds will...
Well, what to say about this one? For a start, I just want to warn people not to read this book unless you already own the next and it is readily available. I thought I could handle waiting a while for the last, but the unbelievable spoiler in the last sentence of this book made it impossible for...

Note: This review contains spoilers, so don’t read it unless you've read Coda (and the previous books) or don’t care about spoilers.Before I say anything else, I just want to make it clear – despite my many complaints, I do love this book. It is a very worthy ending to the series, enjoyable… but ...
Shielded from Imperial attack by the powerful espers who have sought refuge there, Mistworld--the haven for outlaws, rebels, and misfits--faces a new threat from a shadowy figure intent on stalking its streets.
Deathstalker Legacy, by Simon R. Green, is part of a series of books. This particular one, though written fairly recently, obviously owes a lot to classic 1950s space opera, as the setting is a galactic empire (*cough*) in which a reluctant emperor takes over from his father, names his equally re...
Романът на практика е една от първите книги от обширната поредица-космическа опера DeathStalker. Имаме налице една Империя, която постоянно се разраства и непрекъснато колонизира нови и нови светове. Немалка част от тези светове са, меко казано - враждебни. Такъв е и Улф IV, на който попадат геро...
Two Guard Constables chalked a rough outline round the headless body, and made laborious notes about the state of the corpse. The forensic sorcerer waited impatiently for them to finish, already in a foul mood at being dragged from his bed so early in the morning. Hawk and Fisher leant against a ...
It did seem to me that every time I’d gone underground recently, bad things had happened to me. But then, above ground hadn’t been that safe either. Molly and I walked back the way we’d come, heading for Blackfriars station, and it was like walking through a war zone. Crashed cars, shops on fire,...
Which was really nothing new where Melody was concerned, but JC considered it a vast improvement on Happy’s part. Unless it was all down to the pills, of course. JC followed on behind Melody and Happy, leading Felicity by the hand, coaxing her along. Her face was worryingly blank, her wide eyes l...
After all, ghosts are supposed to be the result of bad places, and the theatre is where we go to enjoy ourselves. But what are plays but voices from the past, memories preserved in amber, ghost images of the way we thought we were…And even if what we see on the stage isn’t real, there are still r...
I drove through twenty-four hours in a moment, and didn’t feel the slightest twinge of time sickness. From the city to the countryside, from today to tomorrow in one great jump. Though I couldn’t quite decide whether I’d lost a day or gained one. Molly took it all in stride, ...
Now that I’d used the Aquarius Key, Walker was bound to know I had it. And he’d want it. I could have hung on to the Key if I’d been ready to make a big thing out of it, but I wasn’t. The Aquarius Key gave me the creeps. Some things you know are bad news for all concerned. They’re just too…tempti...
She dreamed she grew up and grew old, and her children put her in a home. And then she woke up and found it was all real. There’s no place like a rest home. Dorothy sat in her wheelchair, old and frail and very tired, and looked out through the great glass doors at the wor...

. . My family used to be ruled by a Matriarch, my grandmother Martha Drood. But I discovered that the family had become corrupt and divided under her rule and that she was party to an old and terrible secret at the heart of the Droods’ So power. So I turned against my family, brought my grandmoth...
They both stumbled to a halt before the closed double doors, and then leaned on each other heavily, as they struggled to get their breath back. The armed guards on duty outside the doors did their best not to stare, whilst making it very clear through stern faces and body language that they had b...
The mission and the building had taken a lot out of them. JC led from the front, as always, but even he had trouble maintaining his usual enthusiasm. He stopped little more than half-way up the stairs and sat down abruptly. The others immediately seized the opportunity to do the same. Kim hovered...
A great circle of scorched and blackened grass stood before a copse of trees, all of which were on fire. The heat from the flames was enough to stop me in my tracks, while a thick cloud of black smoke boiled up into the sky from what had been a favoured picnicking spot for young Droods. All aroun...
