Dr. DOA
By Simon R. GreenPublisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of From a Drood to a Kill comes the next Secret Histories adventure...
The name is Drood, Eddie Drood, also known as Shaman Bond. My family has been safeguarding humanity for generations, facing the hidden horrors of the world so you can sleep at night and remain oblivious to the existence of the monstrous nightmares that walk and stalk among us.
Speaking of predatory night terrors, there is a man who gets away with murder. A man who specializes in removing the problems from other people’s lives, by killing the people who cause those problems. He operates from the darkest shadows of the hidden world, coming and going unseen. No-one knows who he is, just his nomme du muerte. Dr. DOA.
Somehow, this demented doc poisoned me. I don’t know how he did it, when or where, but whatever is coursing through my veins seems to be immune to magic cures and treatments. But that’s not going to stop me from finding him and whoever hired him and give them both a taste of their own medicine...

“If you have made it this far in the series, you know what to expect. Over the top fun from the beginning. Does it sometimes seem familiar after nine other books? Probably. Will I still read the next book? Yes. I will say that ending on a cliffhanger was a new one for me.”

“Simon Green is not the best urban fantasy author out there, but he is certainly one of the most consistent. His Nightside, Ghost Finders and Secret Histories novels are rarely astounding, but are always entertaining, fast and fun. This, the tenth Secret Histories novel, is no exception.
First, the downsides. This book is basically just a series of side-plots stitched together to novel-length. The main story (Eddie Drood is poisoned, and must hunt down his murderer) is abandoned very quickly for a wild goose chase for a cure. It isn't until the tail end that the chase for the culprit is resumed and, though the result ties in beautifully with series lore, the final confrontation is perfunctory at best. I don't have issues with the cliffhanger ending, though others do. I just didn't like that the final battle was relegated to the last 4-5 pages of the book.
On the other hand, the characters in this series are still a lot of fun, and the subplots are all fascinating. It does get a little mopey and heavy-handed at times, but the quick pace means you'll be out of the doldrums before major frustration sets in. The action sequences are swell, as usual, and the humor is on point.
All in all, this is a solid entry in a solid series. If you're a fan of Green, this is a perfectly decent place to get your kicks. Just don't expect anything life-changing.”
