OverviewSpooks meets The X-Files with a generous helping of Le Carre, and a dash of Stephen King. HOW DO YOU STOP AN ASSASSIN THAT CAN'T BE KILLED? Toby Greene is part of The Clown Service, a mostly forgotten branch of British Intelligence tasked with fighting paranormal threats. However, the Rain-Soaked Bride is no ordinary assassin. Relentless, inexorable and part of a larger game, merely stopping this impossible killer may notbe enough to save the day.

As it is, we must be content with two very well written and funny books. At least there's a third on the way, though it's a shame we have to wait for it.

SFSite.com This is a great example of why you should stick with a series for at least two books. The first book always has to spend time setting everything up but the second book can really show you what an author is capable of (although it can go the other way, too, of course).

Some of them are his family. He isn't a spy, but he is a boy, so naturally he's always dreamed of being one. Having spent over ten years working as a professional actor and comedian, eventually he decided he'd quite like to eat regularly, so switched careers and became a full-time writer. Nobody said he was clever. Against all odds he managed to stay busy and since then he has written over twenty books. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
