Publisher's summary
The Secret Histories novels deliver "a terrific, adventurous blend of genres...[and] high-octane heroism", (SFRevu) wrapped up in a thrilling and dangerous supernatural world that only New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green could dream up....
Call me Drood, Eddie Drood. Some know me as Shaman Bond and most simply don' t want to know me at all. For centuries, my family has been keeping the things that lurk on the darker side of existence as far away as possible from humans like you, without you even knowing we' re there. Unfortunately for us, not everybody appreciates what we Droods do. Recently, I personally managed to survive yet another attempt on my life, but the rest of my relatives weren' t so lucky. My parents are missing in action. My grandfather has been murdered. And the future of my family lies in the iron grasp of the Lady Faire, an incredibly seductive, mysterious, and powerful being. She possesses an ancient object that can save them. I have to steal it from her. Easy enough to say, difficult - and very, very dangerous - to do....

Taylor is the name, John Taylor. My card says I'm a detective, but what I really am is an expert on finding lost things. It's part of the gift I was born with as a child of the Nightside. I left there a long time ago, with my skin and sanity barely intact. Now I make my living in the sunlit streets of London. But business has been slow lately, so when Joanna Barrett showed up at my door, reeking of wealth, asking me to find her runaway teenage daughter, I didn't say no.

In a town of amazing magicks, where the real and the imagined live side by side and the Faerie of legend know the automatons of the future, Time sees all - but even he cannot escape the prophecy of James Hart's return, which can only mean the death of Shadows Fall.

But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch. Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited.

Though it still looks like Bradford-on-Avon, the town’s suddenly chatty ATM and river mermaids are the first clues that something is quite out of place - namely, Toby.

Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch - and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon - and a beautiful princess to rescue.

Story
Her job description is the "tracking and apprehension of mentally-fractured killers". What this really means in FBI profiler Jace Valchek's brave new world - one in which only one percent of the population is human - is that a woman's work is never done. And real is getting stranger every day. Jace has been ripped from her reality by David Cassius, the vampire head of the NSA. He knows that she's the best there is in the business, and David needs her help in solving a series of gruesome murders of vampires and werewolves.

The world had become used to the metahumans - people sometimes perfectly ordinary, but sometimes quite extraordinary in appearance - who mostly worked with their governments as high-powered peace officers, fighting crime, and sometimes fighting rogue metahumans who had become super-criminals. Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day.

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected - perhaps infected is a better word - by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

The Earth is under siege - and no one knows about it because the invaders erase those whom they consume. A handful of men and women stand on the border between the mundane and the magical. They have a special spark of soul - not quite enough to be naturally gifted in spellcraft but greater than the average person, a tiny flame that can ignite incredible potential. They possess the ability to fight back against the Vorid: the ability to become a Contractor.

Another win for Eddie and Mollie
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I will always recommend Secret Histories books because they are always great fun. This one is no different. Full of crazy characters and odd problems another caper gets sorted. Starting with a personal tragedy, Eddie must deliver an artifact to save the parents. But it is never that easy for Eddie. The action and obstacles keep piling up until the ending. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is I felt we really should have been at the end of the parental arcs for Eddie and Mollie but no joy. It is still a great listen.

Still not bad
Would you try another book from Simon R. Green and/or Gideon Emery?
Oh yes I enjoy Simon R Green the Darkside series and Secret Histories series are very good but each series has weaker entries
Would you be willing to try another book from Simon R. Green? Why or why not?
Yes Mr Green is very talented and I have been meaning to try Hawk and Fisher series just not enough time
What three words best describe Gideon Emery’s voice?
Very good on differentiation on the Characters voices.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Oh Yes
Any additional comments?
Probably one of the weaker stories. But still its Eddie and Molly against the world much as in the First book. To me it seemed like the ending was anti climactic in this book. But it didn't seem to do much to advance the over reaching plot of why Molly's parents were killed by the Droods. Though the Matriarch does seem to have plans for Eddie from beyond the Grave. That could prove interesting. Looking forward to the next book!

Shampoo, rinse, repeat
This was a filler book that failed to advance the mystery of Eddie’s parents, Molly’s parents, or of the Drood family’s master plans. Instead of moving the needle on any of the series arcs, this was just an assortment of recycled schticks from prior books:
-Everyone knows secrets but keeps them from Eddie because “secrets aren’t mine to tell”
-Eddie and Molly come upon a massacre, by unknown someones, with no survivors
-There’s one more climactic battle at the very end, full of redshirt massacres until Eddie saves the day
-The villain is revealed in the final chapter, and stops to monologue and explain the whole nefarious plan
-Oh look, another heretofore never mentioned Drood … who's super, duper dangerous
-And look, another creature/adversary who can see the supposedly unseeable Drood Torc
-Look, an object of immense power from the previous book … is then easily defeated, and replaced by a new object of immense power … which is the new MacGuffin to move the story along
-is that yet another time travel plot? Yes. Yes it is.
Even the various Nightside crossovers felt phoned in, with yet another mention of Deadboy in his purple jacket in the midst of the melee. I did like the little bit with Harry Oblivion though … “nuts!”

book of filler and let downs
this story of Edwin Drood was a big let down. it seems as if all the parts of the story were bloated. Not that it helped, all the parts just didn't seem to fit together. They seem to go in different directions. all and all it just fell flat.
