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.

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.

In his junior year at college, the only things on Sean's mind are doing his homework and getting out of college to get a real job.

Publisher's Summary

The Secret Histories novels deliver "a terrific, adventurous blend of genres...[and] high-octane heroism", (SFRevu) wrapped up in a thrilling and dangerous supernatural world that only New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green could dream up....

Call me Drood, Eddie Drood. Some know me as Shaman Bond and most simply don' t want to know me at all. For centuries, my family has been keeping the things that lurk on the darker side of existence as far away as possible from humans like you, without you even knowing we' re there. Unfortunately for us, not everybody appreciates what we Droods do. Recently, I personally managed to survive yet another attempt on my life, but the rest of my relatives weren' t so lucky. My parents are missing in action. My grandfather has been murdered. And the future of my family lies in the iron grasp of the Lady Faire, an incredibly seductive, mysterious, and powerful being. She possesses an ancient object that can save them. I have to steal it from her. Easy enough to say, difficult - and very, very dangerous - to do....

Another win for Eddie and Mollie

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I will always recommend Secret Histories books because they are always great fun. This one is no different. Full of crazy characters and odd problems another caper gets sorted. Starting with a personal tragedy, Eddie must deliver an artifact to save the parents. But it is never that easy for Eddie. The action and obstacles keep piling up until the ending. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is I felt we really should have been at the end of the parental arcs for Eddie and Mollie but no joy. It is still a great listen.

Still not bad

Would you try another book from Simon R. Green and/or Gideon Emery?

Oh yes I enjoy Simon R Green the Darkside series and Secret Histories series are very good but each series has weaker entries

Would you be willing to try another book from Simon R. Green? Why or why not?

Yes Mr Green is very talented and I have been meaning to try Hawk and Fisher series just not enough time

What three words best describe Gideon Emery’s voice?

Very good on differentiation on the Characters voices.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Oh Yes

Any additional comments?

Probably one of the weaker stories. But still its Eddie and Molly against the world much as in the First book. To me it seemed like the ending was anti climactic in this book. But it didn't seem to do much to advance the over reaching plot of why Molly's parents were killed by the Droods. Though the Matriarch does seem to have plans for Eddie from beyond the Grave. That could prove interesting. Looking forward to the next book!
