Another Splendid Green Production!

Simon R. Green has created another engaging set of characters in this novel, which relates the tale of the only two honest City Guards in Haven, a man and wife with a mysterious past that is occasionally hinted at. It will quickly grab you, and you won't want to put it down. Green's writing has matured since his 'Deathstalker' series; the 'Guards of Haven' characters seem more real and believable than those in 'Deathstalker'.

Simon R. Green has never done me wrong

I discovered Green at Coliseum books in NYC (Now sadly closed) when I just wanted something similar to mental popcorn to pour through on the odd quiet night. Boy was I in for a shock. I'm now a slavish devotee of his work in any setting, but it was Hawk and Fisher that laid the bait. An effortless wordsmith, Green blends humor and turn of phrase in a way that just delights. The plots may not always be convoluted or hard to decipher, but I have never ever cared. It's always been about how we got there. Do yourself a favor and pick up Green.

Guards Of Haven

This series was very enjoyable to read. I first found Simon Green when I picked up Blood and Honor. Later I found out he had written an earlier series, Hawk and Fisher, and looked for them. I already owned all of his other books. Having the series republished was delightful. I could see his progression as an author and how his books tie together. I would recommend these to any fan of his writing because it is nice to see where he got his start, and they are nice reading as well.

Action and Characters Make Hawk & Fisher #1

My favorite books are the Hawk & Fisher series from Simon R. Green. I have read the entire series and I highly recommend these stories, which are seemingly set in modern-Barbaric times. The continuous action and character description (especially the villains) keeps me going page after page. The plot twists and imagination of Mr. Green takes the reader through a roller coaster ride of thrills! I love the diverse creatures in "The Bones of Haven" jailbreak sequence which include a cursed portrait of a creature that escapes if it locks eyes with someone who would then end up trapped in the portrait in it's place. Another favorite is "Wolf in the Fold" which pits Hawk & Fisher against a castle full of suspects while trying to find which one is a murderer in this "Whodunit" type of story. A great climax at the end. These books should be made to movies. What do you say, Mr. Green?

If you loved the first 3 books...

Great read, i highly recommend this book to anyone who loved the first 3 books. Great plots, suspence and action. Long live Hawk & Fisher. I can't wait til Mr. Green comes out with his next book.
