Agents of Light and Darkness by Simon R. Green
3.0
In the first book we get to know a little bit from the Nightside and our main character John Taylor and some other characters like Alex Morrisey, Razor Eddie, Punk God of Straight Razor and a killer called Suzie Shooter. Each have unique skills. John Taylor have a gift that he calls it Private Eye. He is also the son of Lilith (the one who first created the Nightside). He is also the target of several parties within and out of the Nightside. Then we have Alex Morrisey the owner of a neutral bar within the Nightside. He helps the Detective with information. Then we got Razor Eddie a former gang member turn vigilante that kills bad guys with his Razor that coincidently is the only thing that can kill him. He is for all purposes immortal. Then we've got Suzie Shooter aka Dear God it's Her Run!!. The most dungerous bounty hunter and with her trademark Shotgun he brings hers bounties ... dead. There is quite a love tension between her and John Taylor.
Well as I said the first book deals with Taylor as he returns to the Nightside as he tries to find the girl child of Joana Barrett. As he returns he meets with several people (whom I introduced before) and we get a gimplse of the world of Nightisde. We get to know several parties inside Nightside and we get to know a bit of John Talyor fears and self discovery. The book is full of dark humour and references to some english movies/series like Monty Python or Dr Who. I thought it was quite good book. The second book deals with John Taylor trying to find for the Vatican the unholy grail that Judas drank at the Last Supper. In this book we get to see a bit more of our personages and their tales. It's quite an advance from the frist book. As Taylor and Suzie band together to stop armageddon. The angels are nothing like the sweet creatures and we get to see a bit of old Magickal themes. This book revels and excels because Simon Green tries to blend different sets and themes that work very nicely. I will read in the near future the third and fourth book of this twelve planned series. 7/10 and 7.5/10
