Best Selling Books by Simon R. Green

New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green continues his Secret Histories fantasy adventure series featuring supernatural super agent Eddie Drood. Call me Edwin, Eddie, Shaman Bond...whatever you like. I’ve been called worse, believe me. After once again triumphing over the forces of darkness, Molly Metcalfe, the Witch of the Woods and my love, and I have returned to merry old England. After all, there’s no place like home. No. Seriously. There is no place like home—because the ancient, powerful, and supposedly invulnerable Drood family domicile has been obliterated. Along with my entire back-stabbing-yet-somehow-fiercely-loyal clan. Except that’s not quite right. I mean, sure, things look bleak as hell. But in my line of work looks can be far more than deceiving. They can be deadly. Some fiendish foe has somehow shifted the entirety of my home and kin to another dimension, replacing it with a ruin meant to throw me off the trail. Which means there is a trail. A trail I can follow... And I’m going to enjoy expressing my serious displeasure towards the dirty bastard at the end of it.

Praise: "Urban fantasy has a special place in my heart, and the Occult Detective is perhaps the fundamental urban-fantasy archetype. An anthology of this kind is can serve two purposes: The first is to provide a taste of the genre to those that might otherwise be unfamiliar with it, and the second is to provide fans of the genre a chance to discover writers they may not have already come across. It was well worth the read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly for any fan of the urban fantasy/occult detective genre; even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre and would like a taste as to what it’s all about." — Nick Bronson -- "Urban Fantasy readers will love this book, and it is a first-rate group of stories." — Paul Lappan, Reviewer

Owen Deathstalker, unwilling head of his clan, flees to Mistworld where he begins to build an unlikely crew of rebels to overthrow the capricious, murderous galactic queen, and soon he embarks on a dangerous journey to claim his destiny.

Only two things stand between Haven’s law abiding citizens and the city’s notoriously dangerous criminal element: Hawk and Fisher. As Captains of the Haven City Guard, Hawk and Fisher deliver justice, root out corruption, and fight crime with a deadly combination of sharp steel and even sharper instincts. But it isn’t easy. A volatile mix of natural and supernatural violence, Haven is a terrible place to be after dark...and not much better during daylight. Guards of Haven collects books #4 through #6 of New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s beloved Hawk & Fisher series. Wolf in the Fold In a risky undercover case, Hawk and Fisher have only 24-hours at a high society funeral to catch a shapeshifting spy with a dangerous secret who hides among one of Haven’s wealthiest families. Guard Against Dishonor When the influx of a deadly new drug threatens Haven, Hawk and Fisher must track down and crush the source, pitting them against Haven’s most powerful politicians, its sleaziest criminals, and...each other. The Bones of Haven Amid tense political negotiations in Haven, Hawk and Fisher join forces with the Special Wizardry and Tactics team to stop a ruthless terrorist who is determined to drag the country into a brutal war.

There''s nothing safe about Haven, nor is there justice, truth, or honesty. The only thing stemming the forces of darkness from overtaking the city is the Guard, but even they are susceptible to bribes, threats, and general maliciousness. However, two members of the Guard hope to change that. Hawk and Fisher, the husband and wife team, are the only pure forces of good in Haven. They can''t be bought. They can''t stand for injustice. But they can kick your ass. Working on the side of good in Haven means you have to get used to rubbing elbows with lowlifes. But nothing they’ve faced before has prepared them for this case. The spy they’re trailing leads them to a tower of the aristocratic quality. Donning disguises to infiltrate the tower, Hawk and Fisher risk death if they''re caught, but they have to catch the spy before valuable secrets are revealed. However, all is not well in the tower. Maniacal and immortal, a Freak is on the loose, murdering anyone in its path. Now Hawk and Fisher must not only stop the monster before it kills more people, but also find the spy without blowing their cover.

From the rebel strongholds of Mistworld and Virimonde to the Empire’s mighty heart on the planet of Golgotha, the fate of humanity now depends on a clash of arms across light-years of space. But Deathstalker’s desperate cause will need more than an army of courageous fighters to succeed—for the cunning Empress has some evil surprises to unleash...

Welcome to the Nightside, the secret heart of London where it''s always 3am and the creatures of the night congregate. If you''re looking for a place to indulge the darker side of your nature, this collection of short stories from the Nightside is what you need. Delve into ten macabre mysteries that shine a dim light into the neighbourhood''s darkest corners, revealing things that refused to stay hidden - and to hell with the consequences. Take a walk with some of the deadly and dangerous denizens of the Nightside, like Razor Eddie, Dead Boy and Larry Oblivion, who are about to encounter things even more inhuman and inhumane than they are. And join John Taylor, the PI with a knack for finding lost things, as he confronts Sir Francis Varney, King of the Vampires, in a never-before-published novella-length adventure. There may be nothing to be afraid of in the dark, but there''s plenty to be afraid of in the Nightside ...

The fourth and final part of the life and times of Owen Deathstalker. After the rebellion is over, the real trouble begins, as the various political factions fight each other over what system will replace the Empire. Gradually Owen, Hazel, Jack Random and Ruby are being pushed apart.

In the Nightside—that hidden area in the middle of London where time stands still at three A.M. and the sun won’t rise to refute it—nightmares go walking in borrowed flesh, and not everything that looks back at you with human eyes is really human. I’m John Taylor, a PI with a knack for finding things, helping those the Nightside has chewed up and is about to spit out. All things considered, my life lately had been bright, even in this shadowy place. So it was only a matter of time before everything hit the fan. Walker—the powerful, ever-present, never-to-be-trusted agent who runs the Nightside on behalf of the Authorities—paid me a visit. He told me he is dying and that he, too, has a job for me. An important job. His.

Offered a million pounds by the Unnatural Inquirer to find a DVD reported to contain recordings of the afterlife, John Taylor must contend with someone or something else who wants it as well.

Captains Hawk and Fisher are the only honest cops in the down and dirty magical city of Haven. In a place where anything can be bought, stolen or fought for, they''ve stood up for decency and right; together, they have taken on everything from vampires and werewolves to conniving politicians. They''ve solved locked-room mysteries and dealt with the enigmatic Beings on the Street of Gods. But now it''s their last case as members of Haven''s City Guard, and all hell is breaking loose - because they''re not leaving town without doing a little cleaning up first. The bad guys are going down, whatever it takes. Meanwhile, back in the Forest Kingdom, King Harald has been assassinated and the call has gone out to Prince Rupert and Princess Julia, to return to the Land they once called home, to bring a murderer to justice.

Hawk and Fisher are the battle-scarred crime busters of a never-ending urban war. Hawk rules the streets by battle-axe. Fisher cracks down on outlaws with sword and dagger. Their merciless beat is the sinister city misnamed Haven: a dark and violent town overrun with spell casters, demons, and thieves, a place where money will buy anything except justice.

John Taylor is a private eye with a difference, working the strange streets of the Nightside. Here the clocks always read three a.m. and terrible things happen with predictable regularity.
