Reviews

Praise forHyde & Seek:
. . . a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled tale thats reminiscent of grindhouse cinemaandsure to satisfy series fans. Publishers Weekly
Praise forJekyll & Hyde Inc.:
This book is hard to put down. It is exciting from start to finish, with thrills and monsters waiting behind every dark corner. San Francisco Book Review

Green transforms Robert Lewis Stevensons classic horror novel into the launch pad for an exciting adventure. He takes readers through a romp involving multiple horror classics, updated to the twenty-first century in an amusing and entertaining read.Ricochet

Theres something about Greens dark humor that sucks me into many of his books. And, as violent and gory as this book is, its really about a good man striving to stay good in the worst circumstances. Lesa's Book Critiques

It has all the grim and all the dark of many of the authors previous series. Reading Reality
Praise for theDeathstalkerseries:
Green moves his plot at top speed, and his characters are alive and his background solid. Asimov's SF Magazine

A huge SF novel of sweeping scope, told with a strong sense of legend some old-fashioned heroes and a theme of honor and for the most part, it works. Locus

Green writes great space opera, with blasters and swords and heroes that kick butt around the galaxy. SF Site

An over-the-top masterpiece that veers between brutal comedy and touching riffs on love, loyalty and betrayal . . . bloody funny and extremely bloody. The Guardian

One of the few writers still using the galactic empire as a theme, and he does it to good effect. At times the stories have some of the feel of a fantasy epic, but theyre undeniably sf, rip roaring space operas with dastardly villains, exciting battles, nefarious plots, and strong willed heroes. Take this as an antidote after one too many serious and relevant stories about the human condition. Science Fiction Chronicle

A great facility with action scenes [and] dialogue . . . Terrific new characters. SFX Magazine

I would recommend this book if you like your plots sweeping, your characters big and your stories bold. SFcrowsnest

Space opera at its action best. The novel is populated with heroic figures reminiscent of Lancelot and Arthur and villains that make Darth Vader seem like a nice person . . . Once again, Simon R. Green has written a work that will appeal to Star War fans. Midwest Book Review

Space opera at its finest . . . The motley band of rebels plays off each other with the sharp wit and endearing affection found in the best buddy comedies, and Lewis, with his wry humor, is an engaging galactic Indiana Jones. RT Book Reviews

Space opera on a grand scale done with great talent and a sense of adventure. Science Fiction Chronicle

A guaranteed blood-and-thunder romp, shot-through with broad swathes of fashion parody, a sustained piss-take on lives of the Rich and Famous and the occasional lance of satire. This last is refreshing stuff. Its mostly aimed at Dictatorship, Fascism, Established Religion, the Toadying Media and so-forthand its nice to find an author who knows that laughter is the most destructive weapon to aim at a repressive establishment. In short, very violent, very funny, very good. Infinity Plus

Action, characterization, and ethical dilemmas all balanced and mingled in a way to keep readers turning pages. Booklist

Greens ingenuity and sarcastic prose style keep readers from getting grossed out by the bloodshed or bored by tired space opera theatrics. Publishers Weekly

An epic crescendo in this final installment. Green uses every trick in his extensive repertoire in constructing this ultimate Deathstalker adventure. Highly recommended. SFRevu

Praise for Simon R. Green:
Simon R. Green is a great favorite of mine. Its almost impossible to find a writer with a more fertile imagination than Simon. Hes a writer who seems endlessly inventive. Charlaine Harris

A macabre and thoroughly entertaining world. Jim Butcher on the Nightside series

Nobody delivers sharp, crackling dialogue better than Green, and no one whisks readers away to more terrifying adventures or more bewildering locales. Black Gate Magazine

As quintessentially British as fish and chips! SF Site

Simon R Green is one hell of a consistent writer if you like your Fantasy /SF served with lashings of pulp mayhem, dollops of snarky characters and big piles of extreme gore, violence and horror. Mmm tasty. Fantasy Book Review UK

Simon R. Green is one of my all-time favorite writers and I havent read a book of his that I havent devoured. I hope he has many more years of writing left in him and suggest that if you need a fix, pick up his Ishmael Jones books. Crooked Reviews

A splendid riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, conveyed with trademark wisecracking humor, and carried out with maximum bloodshed and mayhem. In a word, irresistible. Kirkus ReviewsonNight Fall,starred review

[F]or those who want a fantasy-genre mash-up that doesnt slow down.BooklistonFroma Drood to a Kill
