Publisher's Summary
Join supernatural agent Eddie Drood on a dangerous adventure in the second Secret Histories novel from New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green.
“Fans of fast-paced heroics, featuring a snarky knight armored in silver and sarcasm, need look no further; Eddie Drood is your guy.” (SF Revu)
For centuries, the Droods have been fighting the monsters in the shadows so that the rest of you lot can go about your everyday lives. These days, I’m the head of the family, and it’s fallen to me to deal with a bit of a mess left over from World War II.
Seems that back then the Droods made a pact with a bunch of demons known as the Loathly Ones to fight some really nasty buggers called up by the Nazis. Once the war was over, we couldn’t get rid of them. Now they’re calling their masters to invade and destroy our world...and we Droods are the last, best hope of stopping them.
I’d say that the world is in a major lot of trouble.

A noticeable downgrade from the first and outing
I was seriously impressed when I came across the Secret Histories series, as, being an avid fan of the genre, I thought I’d run out of books of its kind, but here was one new urban fantasy with its own style, and take. But this book, basically displayed in book 2, all the problems that surface in the Dresden Files in about book 14. When Simon R. Greene decided that the second book was going to go straight for universe destruction peril in just book two, all the usual malaises that usually plague the genre as it goes on arose: Inconsistent power levels (the Drood armor has been the unstoppable highest power in the world for millennia, but now seemingly anyone can cut it, and Molly knew about the thing they used at the end to enter the last tower’s location, yet never thought to use it to get to the Droods when her sole goal in life was getting back at the Droods, to the point where she literally whored herself out to daemons in exchange for power?) forced character decisions, and in general, the whole thing feels unearned, like having Eddie and other characters referring to his alleged penchant for last ditch world saving, when as far as I know, he’s never done that before (the heart had enslaved humanity, but had no plans to destroy it as far as anyone knows), or all the stupidity around Mr Stabb and Blue(seriously, why let them in at all? - there is no justifying that, surely there are other powers in the universe willing to fight invading entities who aren’t serial killers, or point blank telling you you shouldn’t trust them), and all sort of macguffins employed to make the plot do what the author wanted. Basically, this feels like at least a third book in the series (if not much further along), something you build towards to, but being just book two it kind of feels like when DC decided to do Justice League after just having two movies to set up the world, because they felt pressure to catch up to Marvel…. I hope the next book is more grounded.
