Praise for The Adventures of Hawk & Fisher
“Green’s very different approach to writing fantasy adventure—bearing a strong resemblance to the private eye novel—works surprisingly well.”
—Chronicle
“Simon R. Green’s books are fun books that grab you, suck you in, and don’t let you go. They are always fun, and the Hawk & Fisher books are no exception. Hawk and Fisher are a couple of honest, straight-talking, tough-as-nails Guards who use steel as often as wits to keep themselves out of trouble. They bully their way through situations, often just letting their reputations work their magic. The plots are straightforward with just enough of a twist to keep you guessing until the end. If you’ve read and enjoyed Green’s other books, you don’t want to miss these books. If you haven’t read Green before, THE SWORDS OF HAVEN is a good way to get a taste of his style of writing.”

“Green has a marvelous gift of leavening grim situations with wicked wit.”

—Publishers Weekly

—SF Site
Praise for Simon R. Green’s novels of the Nightside
Something from the Nightside
“The book is a fast, fun little roller coaster of a story—and its track runs through neighborhoods that make the Twilight Zone look like Mayberry. Simon R. Greens Nightside is a macabre and thoroughly entertaining world that makes a bizarre and gleefully dangerous backdrop for a quick-moving tale. Fun stuff!”
—Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files novels
Agents of Light and Darkness
“The Nightside novels are a great blending of Lovecraft and Holmes. [Agents of Light and Darkness] is an action-packed thriller, a delightful private-eye investigative fantasy tale.”
—Midwest Book Review
Nightingale’s Lament
“Filled with supernatural creatures of various sorts, the action leavened by occasional bits of dry humor, the Taylor series has proven to be a welcome break from the endless quasimedieval intrigues that dominate contemporary fantasy.”
—Chronicle
Hex and the City
“Green has a flair for character creation, and his knack for evocative, memorable names is tremendous. His postmodern mix-and-match style allows him to blend in a sizable Casablanca homage as well as quantum physics.”
—SFRevu
Paths Not Taken
“An entertaining adventure.”
—Chronicle
Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth
“No one writes like Simon R. Green. His style is infectious, energetic, over-the-top without the slightest hint of restraint. He writes large on a scale that refuses boundaries, turning even the slightest act into something grand and epic.”
—The Green Man Review
Praise for Simon R. Green’s Secret History novels
The Man With the Golden Torc
“The Man With the Golden Torc is an enjoyable change of direction from sci-fi master Simon R. Green. The idea…has been tackled before, but Green has given the idea a new lease of life with Eddie Drood, a character as fresh and original as anything seen in fantasy for some time. This will appeal to readers of Terry Pratchett and Christopher Fowler, and should work outside the genre’s traditional fanbase.”
—The Bookseller
Daemons Are Forever
“A fantastic story. The action is fast paces, and the dialogue is clever and amusing. This book is a delight from beginning to end, and readers will eagerly look forward to the next in the series.”
—Romantic Times,
4.5 stars of 4.5 stars and a TopPick!
The Spy Who Haunted Me
“Engaging, well-crafted quests take the team from Loch Ness to Roswell, where Eddie is forced to choose between saving humanity and recovering the information his family desperately needs. Though some supporting characters are clearly meant to be disposable, Eddie makes a likable hero, and fans will enjoy following him through this surprisingly complex mystery.”
—Publishers Weekly
From Hell With Love
“Gripping, fast-paced, emotionally intense … fans of the series will be delighted by the deft combination of urban fantasy adventure, sharp-edged sarcasm, and treachery upon treachery, which make this installment strong enough to stand alone as a great introduction to Green’s work.”
—Publishers Weekly
For Heaven's Eyes Only
“Witty urban fantasy … Series fans should enjoy this extended parody and the genuine storytelling skill that lies beneath it.”
—Library Journal
Live and Let Drood
“The usual pithy banter, and Green’s outrageously creative magic”
—Romantic Times,
4.5 stars of 4.5 stars and a TopPick!
Casino Infernale
““The bottom line is that if you are a Simon Green fan, you’ll enjoy this book. With its ties to the rest of his universe, and all of his other qualities present in abundance, it’s everything that’s made him a bestselling author and then some.”
—Tor.com
Property of a Lady Faire
“Tons of plot, nonstop semicomic action, and further revelations about the entire Drood brood and their mysterious mission—what’s not to enjoy? Close to the best of a fun series.”
—Kirkus
From a Drood to a Kill
“From a Drood to a Kill is Simon R. Green’s latest entry in the terrific Secret Histories series, a literary love letter to the spy thrillers of the ’60s mashed up with every sort of paranormal weirdness under the sun. It’s sort of ‘James Bond Meets the National Enquirer,’ with an extra helping of weirdness and snark….a great addition to the Eddie Drood narrative and even puts things in place for the next installment…Highly recommended.”
