Publisher's summary

As Captains of the Haven City Guard, Hawk and Fisher deliver justice, root out corruption, and fight crime with a deadly combination of sharp steel and even sharper instincts. But it isn't easy. A volatile mix of natural and supernatural violence, Haven is a terrible place to be after dark . . . and not much better during daylight.

Guards of Haven collects books #4 through #6 of New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green's beloved Hawk & Fisher series.

Wolf in the Fold: In a risky undercover case, Hawk and Fisher have only twenty-four hours at a high society funeral to catch a shapeshifting spy with a dangerous secret who hides among one of Haven's wealthiest families.

Guard Against Dishonor: When the influx of a deadly new drug threatens Haven, Hawk and Fisher must track down and crush the source, pitting them against Haven's most powerful politicians, its sleaziest criminals, and . . . each other.

The Bones of Haven: Amid tense political negotiations in Haven, Hawk and Fisher join forces with the Special Wizardry and Tactics team to stop a ruthless terrorist who is determined to drag the country into a brutal war.

I don’t understand why he’s so popular

I compared this writer to modern art; lots of flash, and great ideas, but poor technique when there’s any technique at all. This writer doesn’t know how to use the subjunctive tense, his diction is poor (at one point he used.“Respectable“ when he should’ve used. “respectful.“ They are not synonyms.) He, like many others, use “ground” when it should be “the floor” and “the tunnel roof“ when it’s actually “the ceiling“ and so many others, I can’t name them all. I compare this to what I call the “Mariah Carey, Enigma.“ Either Mr. Green has gotten so popular and famous that the editor just rubberstamps his manuscript and doesn’t do any editing, or is too afraid to give constructive feedback on errors. Either way, it’s a shame. But, like Mariah Carey, after a certain point, his fans will read anything he publishes no matter the quality, and apparently the vast majority of readers aren’t as discerning as I. So, if you like Simon Green, if you like his Template where each new character is the best swordsman, like in his death, stalker series, or his nightside series, if you like that, in each story, the first few paragraphs repeatedly remind us what Hawkin Fisher look like, as if we’re going to forget, if you like that, there’s absolutely no character growth, they’re the exact same people at the beginning of the series as they are at the end, then you will love this. Don’t give me wrong, there are a lot of good things in these stories, and I don’t know when these were originally published in his career, but I was not as impressed with these, as I was with some parts of the previously mentioned books. Good luck, and happy reading!
