Praise for Jekyll & Hyde Inc.
:
“This book is hard to put down. It is exciting from
start to finish, with thrills and monsters waiting behind
every dark corner.” —
San Francisco Book Review
"Green transforms Robert Lewis Stevenson’s classic
horror novel into the launch pad for an exciting adventure.
He takes readers through a romp involving multiple horror
classics, updated to the twenty-first century in an amusing
and entertaining read." —
Ricochet
“There’s something about Green’s dark
humor that sucks me into many of his books. And, as violent
and gory as this book is, it’s really about a good man
striving to stay good in the worst circumstances.”
—
Lesa's Book Critiques
“It has all the grim and all the dark of many of the
author’s previous series.” —Reading
Reality
Praise for the Deathstalker
series:
“Green moves his plot at top speed, and his
characters are alive and his background solid.”
—Asimov's SF Magazine “A huge SF novel of sweeping scope, told with a
strong sense of legend… some old-fashioned heroes and a
theme of honor — and for the most part, it
works.” —Locus “Green writes great space opera, with blasters and
swords and heroes that kick butt around the galaxy.”
—SF Site “An over-the-top masterpiece that veers between
brutal comedy and touching riffs on love, loyalty and
betrayal . . . bloody funny and extremely bloody.”
—The Guardian “One of the few writers still using the galactic
empire as a theme, and he does it to good effect. At times
the stories have some of the feel of a fantasy epic, but
they’re undeniably sf, rip roaring space operas with
dastardly villains, exciting battles, nefarious plots, and
strong willed heroes. Take this as an antidote after one too
many serious and relevant stories about the human
condition.” —Science Fiction Chronicle “A great facility with action scenes [and]
dialogue… Terrific new characters.” —SFX
Magazine “I would recommend this book if you like your plots
sweeping, your characters big and your stories bold.”
—SFcrowsnest “Space opera at its action best. The novel is
populated with heroic figures reminiscent of Lancelot and
Arthur and villains that make Darth Vader seem like a nice
person… Once again, Simon R. Green has written a work
that will appeal to Star War fans.” —Midwest Book
Review “Space opera at its finest… The motley band of
rebels plays off each other with the sharp wit and endearing
affection found in the best buddy comedies, and Lewis, with
his wry humor, is an engaging galactic Indiana Jones.”
—RT Book Reviews “Space opera on a grand scale done with great talent
and a sense of adventure.” —Science Fiction
Chronicle “A guaranteed blood-and-thunder romp, shot-through
with broad swathes of fashion parody, a sustained piss-take
on ‘lives of the Rich and Famous’ and the
occasional lance of satire. This last is refreshing stuff.
It’s mostly aimed at Dictatorship, Fascism, Established
Religion, the Toadying Media and so-forth–and
it’s nice to find an author who knows that laughter is
the most destructive weapon to aim at a repressive
establishment. In short, very violent, very funny, very
good.” —Infinity Plus
“Action, characterization, and ethical dilemmas all
balanced and mingled in a way to keep readers turning
pages.” —
Booklist
“Green’s ingenuity and sarcastic prose style
keep readers from getting grossed out by the bloodshed or
bored by tired space opera theatrics.” —
Publishers Weekly
“An epic crescendo in this final installment. Green
uses every trick in his extensive repertoire in constructing
this ultimate Deathstalker adventure. Highly
recommended.” —SFRevu Praise for Simon R. Green: “Simon R. Green is a great favorite of mine.
It’s almost impossible to find a writer with a more
fertile imagination than Simon. He’s a writer who seems
endlessly inventive.” —Charlaine Harris “A macabre and thoroughly entertaining world.”
—Jim Butcher on the Nightside series
“Nobody delivers sharp, crackling dialogue better
than Green, and no one whisks readers away to more terrifying
adventures or more bewildering locales.” —
Black Gate Magazine
“As quintessentially British as fish and
chips!” —SF Site “Simon R Green is one hell of a consistent writer
– if you like your Fantasy /SF served with lashings of
pulp mayhem, dollops of snarky characters and big piles of
extreme gore, violence and horror. Mmm tasty.”
—Fantasy Book Review UK
“Simon R. Green is one of my all-time favorite
writers and I haven’t read a book of his that I
haven’t devoured. I hope he has many more years of
writing left in him and suggest that if you need a fix, pick
up his Ishmael Jones books.” —
Crooked Reviews
“A splendid riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an
enigma, conveyed with trademark wisecracking humor, and
carried out with maximum bloodshed and mayhem. In a word,
irresistible.” —
Kirkus Reviews on
Night Fall, starred review
“[F]or those who want a fantasy-genre mash-up that
doesn’t slow down.”
