A hitman and his paranormal companions are all that stands between London and a demon on the warpath in this urban fantasy novel with gangster movie flair In the tunnels deep under London, the Earth Elementals are dying. Hunted by something they know only as the Rotman, the Elementals have no one trustworthy they can turn to. Enter Don Drake, diabolist and semi-reformed hitman, and an almost-fallen angel called Trixie. When the matriarch tells Don that Rotman is actually the Archdemon Bianakith, he knows this is going to be a tough job. Bianakith is the foretold spirit of disease and decay whose aura corrupts everything it comes near, and even the ancient foundations of London will crumble eventually. Now Don, Trixie and the Burned Man must hatch a plan to keep Bianakith from wiping out the Elementals and bringing down the city. But the Burned Man has other plans-and they may have dire consequences for everyone.
Chock full of sweary gangsters, snark and deadpan humour, thrills and spills and genuinely terrifying moments, this is smart and fun storytelling, a novel for the devil in us all Dominion is mad, bad and glorious to read.
Edward Cox, author of the Relic Guild series
Who wouldnt want to read a book narrated by a foul-mouthed demon-botherer called Don From dark streets to sticky sewers, Dominion is a belting urban fantasy that takes you on a breakneck tour of Londons under-underworld, with plenty of evil laughs (and F-bombs) along the way.
Matt Hill, author of Graft
Fans of Richard Kadreys Sandman Slim will dig this series.
The B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
The story is delivered with the same excellent wit as the first. Its humour is still the main strength here, at times delivered so spectacularly subtly and at others with a brilliant punch. McLean conveys a shining example of dry British humour and a character that glows with it.
British Fantasy Society
Snarky, pacy and hellishly fun. Don Drake is just the sort of hero, with just the sort of life, to make you feel good about yourself. Dark and delightful, like a naughty treat, this is a rollicking story.
Francis Knight, author of Fade to Black
Dominion is one of those books that I just didnt want to end but couldnt stop turning the pages. Another fantastic Burned Man novel by Pete McLean.
Sue Tingey, author of Marked and Cursed
With the engaging writing and the huge number of avenues Don Drakes world offers in terms of exploration, this series has a long way to go before running out of steam.
Strange Alliances
A really firm instalment and definitely added some more meat to the bones of McLeans world. Its fast paced and entertaining with a conclusion that definitely makes me want to read more.
Lynns Books
A fun read.
