Deathstalker: War by Simon R. Green This review may contain spoilers for the first two DEATHSTALKER books, Deathstalker and Deathstalker: Rebellion. I’m going to have to give up on DEATHSTALKER, which I feel bad about since Tantor Audio sent me the first four books. The first one was okay but they’ve gone downhill since then […]

Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon R. Green Simon R. Green lives in Bradford-on-Avon in real life, and I’ll wager a guess as to how Drinking Midnight Wine came to be written. I think Green has met some eccentric folks and seen some weird places in the time he has lived in that town, and so […]

Nightingale’s Lament by Simon R. Green The Nightside stories are so hard boiled that it’s hard to put in perspective, but I’m going to try anyway: If you took Dashiell Hammett’s corpse, rolled it in batter, then deep fried it till black, you would have a pretty good approximation of what Simon R. Green is […]
