This was going cheap on amazon (did I mention I'm from Yorkshire?!?!), appeared to by pretty much my genre and had good reviews. It did not disappoint :-) Started reading this just before we headed out to Spain and finished it in the sun, quite probably next to a massive bowl of mussells, a canya and my gorgeous girlfriend!!!
The story of a dark assasin who is quite simply the best. He can get into anywhere, torture and kill his victim and be away before anybody or the security systems have noticed. As amazing as he is, he one day wakes to find himself tied to a bed and talking to "Priest" who recruits him to stop the "Sons of Soderrah" sacrificing the second coming in order to return their dark lord to this realm. Full of demons and aliens creatures, the devil makes an appearance at one point disguised as an old woman and the archangel Gabriel plays a significant role in the climax!! A great action packed story with a dark and admiral hero but what really takes it up a notch is the cranky, miserable, sarcastic and dark humor of the hero, especially in the scene where he and Gabriel start to take the piss out of each other!! Great read.
