His prose works range from the beatnik neurosis-noir of 'Contract' ("A tour de force" - The Times) to the occult whodunnit 'A Serpent Uncoiled' ("Gargantuan literary flourishes" - The Truth About Books).

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutal, snarky fun with the Strontium Dogs!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2024

This is a decent yarn about spiritual shenanigans attracting the attention of Johnny Alpha, the Man in Green, temporarily without his usual partner Wulf Sternhammer and forced to pal up with vastly inferior sidekick Kid Knee in a quest to find the loathsome Grinn, freshly released from prison and out for revenge.

It's a funny and well-written tale of galactic excess, religious gullibility and good old-fashioned criminal activity. The action is set in some imaginative locations and feature brutal fights, gritty violence and plenty of Pratchettesque side eye and humorous asides.

Makes for a decent read, but some fans might find this Johnny Alpha a little too tortured and hard-bitten compared to Wagner's original.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prophet and Less
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2022
I have been a long time fan of 2000AD, and Starlord. I have always enjoyed Strontium Dog *Spoiler Alert* (apart when they killed him off in the comics).
I enjoyed the first prose book in this series also, Bad Timing by Rebecca Levene.
Unfortunately this book by Simon Spurrier is terrible. It is trying too hard to be clever and in doing so the pacing of the story suffers greatly.
It is unnecessarily over descriptive, how this got past an editor mystifies me it should have been trimmed down to provide a much better story focus.
I had got 30% into the story and had got so frustrated with unneeded blether and lack of progress that I gave up. (which to be honest I very rarely do, I think this is only the fourth book I have DNF'ed). I might try it again, but I doubt it and I certainly will give Simon Spurrier a wide berth from now onward.

I loved all the bounty hunters in this book. I also liked the origin story of the universe. It almost makes me want to convert religions. Except for how it all turns out for them...
