This book is actually three combined into one and was an excellent read. I loved all three stories. I found the characters funny and interesting, the only downside with this book is that is exactly the same of Fear and Loathing in Haven. All three stories are the same, except that the first one, Wolf in the Fold was called Vengeance for A Lonely Man. It's even got the same front cover. The stories are still great and you do get very involved in them but if you're expecting a new set of Hawk And Fisher books forget it.

Beware if you are buying more of this series...
24 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
These are quite enjoyable sword and sorcery cop stories, with a tongue in cheek approach. None of the plot twists are especially surprising, but they're fun to read all the same. Beware if you are planning on buying more of this series though - the three stories in this book are THE SAME STORIES as in "Fear and Loathing in Haven" by the same author. The names of each of the stories was changed. It's a different publisher, which may account for it somehow, though it's very annoying...

Action and Characters Make Hawk & Fisher #1
21 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
My favorite books are the Hawk & Fisher series from Simon R. Green. I have read the entire series and I highly recommend these stories, which are seemingly set in modern-Barbaric times. The continuous action and character description (especially the villains) keeps me going page after page. The plot twists and imagination of Mr. Green takes the reader through a roller coaster ride of thrills! I love the diverse creatures in "The Bones of Haven" jailbreak sequence which include a cursed portrait of a creature that escapes if it locks eyes with someone who would then end up trapped in the portrait in it's place. Another favorite is "Wolf in the Fold" which pits Hawk & Fisher against a castle full of suspects while trying to find which one is a murderer in this "Whodunit" type of story. A great climax at the end. These books should be made to movies. What do you say, Mr. Green?

Simon R. Green has never done me wrong
7 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
I discovered Green at Coliseum books in NYC (Now sadly closed) when I just wanted something similar to mental popcorn to pour through on the odd quiet night. Boy was I in for a shock. I'm now a slavish devotee of his work in any setting, but it was Hawk and Fisher that laid the bait. An effortless wordsmith, Green blends humor and turn of phrase in a way that just delights. The plots may not always be convoluted or hard to decipher, but I have never ever cared. It's always been about how we got there. Do yourself a favor and pick up Green.
