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,
Swords of Haven
is a good way to get a taste of his style of writing.”—SF Site

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

Praise for Simon R. Green’s
Deathstalker
novels

Deathstalker

“A huge novel of sweeping scope, told with a strong sense of legend.”

—
Locus

Deathstalker Rebellion

“Derring-do, space battles, and wry banter aplenty ... an eminently satisfying space opera.”—
Booklist

Deathstalker War

“The action is fast and frenzied.... Manages to consistently entertain, with some wondrously quirky and warped characters.”—
Locus

Deathstalker Destiny

“Be prepared for an incredible romp through a wonderful universe... filled with outrageous and incredibly powerful heroes and villains, swords and disruptors, and more lethal creatures than you can imagine.”—SF Site

Deathstalker Legacy

“Rip-roaring space opera with dastardly villains, exciting battles, nefarious plots, and strong-willed heroes.”—
Chronicle

Deathstalker Return

“Green ably juggles elements of sword-and-sorcery, high fantasy, humorous quest, and SF, with homages to authors such as Moorcock, Adams, Cordwainer Smith, and Zelazny.... A fun, twisty romp with surprises around every corner.”—
Publishers Weekly

Deathstalker Coda

“Deathstalker Coda
is the latest, last, and possibly even the best installment of Simon R. Green’s sprawling space opera, a story overflowing with over-the-top action, memorable characters, bizarre twists, unexpected revelations, monumental battles, huge armies, and visceral fight scenes.”—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. Green’s 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
