In Hounds we finally get to see what the Government have been up to since the Fall. Just as the Church failed to deliver the goods in Devil in Green, the Government don't appear to be much cop here. In an attempt to "recruit" the help of one of the Brothers of Dragons they end up shooting one and leaving them for dead. Way to go! As if the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons don't have a hard enough job already. With dwindling numbers they set out to find the original Brothers and Sisters from The Age of Misrule series. Hounds of Avalon is a great adventure. I was happy to see the return of some of the old gang; their presence is sourly needed as they face an enemy more dangerous than any before.

Chadbourn's previous novels were cover to cover tension, action, emotion and sensuously descriptive prose. I expected no less from this most recent installment.

"The Hounds of Avalon" seems almost a slow starter, with gentle character building and dialogue dominating the earlier chapters, but it's not long before the novel explodes into a colourful tapestry of storylines that suck you into the book, entranced and unable to put it down (I read it in a day, non-stop!)

The Third in the "Dark Ages" Trilogy, this book serves as the sequel that binds together the seemingly unrelated "The Devil in Green" and "Queen of Sinister", as well as the previous "Age of Misrule" trilogy, bringing the extended story to its climax and completion (or is it?)

Read it, but not until you have read the previous 5 books in Chadbourn's apocalyptic fairy tale.

This is his sixth book set in this version of our world, I have read the first four, but not the fifth, as yet - one of the characters from the fifth appears in this novel - and it seems her story is the fifth novel, but might not be that interesting.

Anyway, this was good, and more in the vein of the third novel of his `first' trilogy. However, the ending perhaps cheesily sets up yet another likely to be trilogy about what happened to Church from the first 3 novels, when he went back into the past. That was a bit annoying. Presumably that will hopefully end the whole thing back in the present time.
