Everyone knows that dark deals have consequences, but
what happens when the bargains come due? Eddie Drood has
always fought for justice and the good of the family, but
this time his fight is for the people he loves the most.
His parents and his girlfriend, Molly Metcalfe, have made
some questionable bargains in the past and now the Powers
that Be are ready for their participation in the Big
Game. Will Eddie find a way around the rules or will
there be only one winner in the Big Game?
FROM A DROOD TO A KILL is the ninth book in the Secret
Histories series and is best read in the context of
the series as a whole. Allegiances are shifting as
relationships are being thoroughly tested in a world
where nothing is as it seems at first glance. Readers new
to the series could have difficulty sorting through the
plethora of characters from the Secret Histories
series, never mind the guest appearances from other Simon
R. Green series.
Simon R. Green is an absolute master at world building
and he continues to showcase his creative imagination in
FROM A DROOD TO A KILL. One of the things I particularly
like is how Simon R. Green is beginning to blend his
various worlds together and show us a bigger, overall
picture. In fact, I'm going to have to catch up on his
Ghostfinders series and may even give the Deathstalker
series a try after reading FROM A DROOD TO A KILL.
I love going on adventures with Eddie Drood and Simon R.
Green does not disappoint with FROM A DROOD TO A KILL.
Simon R. Green takes the superhero/spy tropes and turns
them upside down, as the Secret Histories series
is one that is never static. I can't wait to see what
Simon R. Green has in store for us in the future- and in
the meantime, I'm going to catch up on a few of his other
series!
New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green “continues to deliver enjoyable, fast-paced, and fun entertainment” (SF Revu) in his Secret Histories novels featuring supernatural arse kicker Eddie Drood—who’s about to play a most dangerous game in his latest adventure.... Some call me Shaman Bond, but I was born Eddie Drood, the latest in a long line of folks who chase monsters out of closets for a living to keep humanity safe from all that is dark, demonic, and just downright evil. Needless to say, we’ve made our fair share of enemies over the centuries— and made some questionable bargains. In exchange for the power to fight the forces of darkness, my parents signed over their souls. They’re not the only ones who’ve made deals with Heaven, Hell, and every otherworldly realm in between, but now the bill’s due for several big names in the supernatural community. Including my girl, Molly. She, my parents, and other major players have been kidnapped so they’ll pay up—or participate in the “Big Game.” The rules are simple: get from one side of the pocket dimension to the other and kill your competitors. The winner’s debt is paid in full, and the losers get themselves permanently lost, body and soul, forever. To save my loved ones, I’ve got to become a ringer in this deadly contest that’s undoubtedly rigged by the Powers That Be....
