Meet Shaman Bond, aka Eddie Drood, scion of the ancient Drood family. He is devoted to protecting humanity from the forces of darkness. Protected by the secret weapon received at birth by all members of the Drood family - a magical gold torc (i.e., a neck ring) that turns into a suit of nearly impervious golden armor - Eddie faces arcane dangers with healthy doses of wry self-confidence and sarcasm. Then the family matriarch sends him on a mission that turns out to be a deadly setup.

The world of Faerie never disappeared: it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. Half-human, half-fae, outsiders from birth, these second-class children of Faerie spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations.

Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch. Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited.

Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch - and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon - and a beautiful princess to rescue.

Considered by the author to be his finest work yet, this is a novel of realistic detail, heartfelt emotion, and dazzling imagination that builds a world listeners won't want to leave and spins a tale they won't want to end. In a town of amazing magicks, where the real and the imagined live side by side and the Faerie of legend know the automatons of the future, Time sees all - but even he cannot escape the prophecy of James Hart's return, which can only mean the death of Shadows Fall.

The Boss has a mission for him, and he's to look for a sign. He's a marine: He'll choose the mission. Unfortunately, the sign he's to look for is "57". Which, given the food services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty. Eventually it appears that God's will is for Chad to join a group called Monster Hunters International.

Trained by a modern day version of the Knights Templar, monster hunters who have updated their methods from chain mail and crossbows to Kevlar and shotguns, John Charming was one of the best-until a curse made him one of the abominations the Knights were sworn to hunt.

It turns out living nightmares almost never appreciate a good joke. Together with a succubus who insists on constantly saving his life, Gabe desperately tries to survive a new reality that suddenly features demons, legends, and a giant locust named Dale - all of whom pretty much hate his guts. And when an ancient horror comes hunting for a spirit locked in his head, Gabe finds himself faced with the excruciating choice between death...or becoming some kind of freaking hero.

That was 11 years ago. Now, the hitman who goes only by Stark has escaped and is back in L.A. Armed with a fortune-telling coin, a black bone knife, and an infernal key, Stark is determined to destroy the magic circle.

Publisher's Summary
My name is Drood, Eddie Drood, aka Shaman Bond. For generations my family has protected you ordinary mortals against things that lurk in the darkness, just out of sight, but not at all out of mind. Unfortunately, I’ve had a falling out with my near and dear (some of whom were trying to kill me), so my true love - and powerful witch - Molly Metcalf and I are now in the employ of The Department of the Uncanny. We’ve been given an Extremely Important Assignment: attend Casino Infernale, an annual event held by the Shadow Bank, financiers of all global supernatural crime. Our mission: rig the game and bring down the Shadow Bank. But at Casino Infernale, the stakes are high indeed - winner takes all and losers give up their souls….

Eddie and Molly are deep in it again
What did you love best about Casino Infernale?
I liked the storyline that kept me interested and hard to stop listening
What other book might you compare Casino Infernale to and why?
I like the Drood family and all the problems they cross. Nightside is close but this is more in our world
Which character – as performed by Gideon Emery – was your favorite?
Mr Emery is a first class reader and he does a great job on all his characters but both Eddie and Molly a credit to his craft
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did both, it was a great storyline and I enjoyed both the highs and lows.
Any additional comments?
Look forward to the next in the series and PLEASE don't stopp writting

Can Eddie and Molly "Break the Bank"?
Eddie Drood is at it again! No longer acting as just an agent of the Drood family, Eddie and his better half Molly Metcalf. (the Wild Witch of the Woods) are now working for the Regeant of Shadows (Eddie's long thought deceased grandfather) at the Department of the Uncanny. His and Molly's first mission with the department? Infiltrate the games at Casino Infernale, win big at any cost, and bring down the Shadow bank. Just another case for the infamous Edfie and Molly, right? Except that Edfie has to do the unthinkable - give up his android family Torc, the source of his Strange Matter army, for the duration of the mission to bypass the Casino Security! Promising yo give it back when the mission is over, Eddie's Forc is removed by the Armorer and the incarnation of the Strange matter Ethyl. Now stripped of his seemingly limitless Drood power and reduced to the identity he uses in the everyday spy world, Shaman Bond, Effddir and Molly are off to France to break the bank at Casino Infernale. If Eddie can survive the mission and return to Drood manner, he will be given his Torc and his Strange Matter armor back. But surviving the Casino as just a normal human may be more than Eddie (Shaman) can handle! This is the 7th book in Simon R. Green's "The Secret Histories" about the Drood family-the secret family that has dedicated its existence to standing between the world at large and the Supernatural Powers and Domination that threaten it daily!

Nice change for Eddie
It was interesting to see how well Eddie functions without his wonderful armor. I enjoyed the book alot. It was good case for Eddie to figure out he is more than his armor and to understand that there isnt a difference between himself and Shaman Bond his cover. I cant wait to see the next installment in the series as I hope we can finally get the answer to what happened to Molly's parents. It seems that could be a truly climatic story if it comes next!
