Another fantastic book in the Man from U.N.D.E.A.D. series. Agent Ward once again finds himself in a whole manner of scrapes, trying to save the world from a gender-confused demon. This time he travels through time and space and across the planet, trying to save mankind.

Once again, Agent Ward is a witty, slightly less suave than Bond, character who is likeable and his friends who support him and surround him are equally so.

I can't wait to see what the next instalment will bring.

This has to be the best book in the Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. series (so far!). It would work as a stand alone book but to fully appreciate the story I recommend that you read the previous books (they are worth reading on their own merit anyway).

From brain draining spiders to party poppers in space, including a Dummies Guide to Time Travel, Darren Humphries takes you on a whirlwind of an adventure as he tries to rescue his girlfriend from the clutches of a very confused bodycruncher. Once again it is up to Agent Ward to save the day, only this time he isn't playing by the rules, literally and even more so than usual!

The writing is excellent and like all the previous books is of a very high standard, not only that but he even manages to throw a few jokes in to give those tense moments a bit of a lift. For the first time in this series even my heart was touched, a small tear may have appeared in my eye (it was a bit of dust, honest!) I don't believe this is the end of Agent Ward though, he doesn't give up that easily.

This book is so much more than just one genre (it's possibly a little bit of everything all thrown together) and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good read.
