Gun Machine by Warren Ellis

Can Reg E. Cathey read all of my books to me please?
A detective fiction, but...it's Warren Ellis doing a detective fiction so it's full of eccentrics and a team of weirdos that you love and become buddies. It's also, as you would expect, full of an obsession with history and technology and culture on micro levels, it's protagonist a "reader" who sounds a lot like Warren Ellis in his habits. A fascinating and spooky villain (although, of course, there are more villains than just he).
He did a really good job creating something that is uniquely his but also fits firmly into a thriller I could maybe even give to my dad. I'm glad Ellis is back to writing more comics again but I'm also glad he keeps dipping into prose from time to time and I'm excited to see what he'd do next.
