Shaman Bond is the alias for Edwin Drood - it wouldn’t do for most in the world to know that Bond is part of the infamous and much-too-powerful Drood family. The family has declared him a traitor and he needs to find out what he’s done. It’s the constant string of attacks on the motorway on the way to Stonehenge which raises Eddie’s suspicious and then Uncle James’ confirmation. The family seat he escaped ten years ago. Only, everything goes wrong and Eddie is summoned back to Drood Hall. Exorcise the demon and ensure the President doesn’t give birth. “…sending anonymous hate mail to Bill Gates.”Ī fun read with plenty of drama between reading about the toys and following Eddie about as we get acquainted with his world and how that world views the Droods.
What is the deal that everyone is so anti-Eddie? It’s not like the Droods don’t have agents spread out across the globe… I did enjoy the golden armor! Useful stuff although I’m surprised the weaknesses hadn’t been found earlier.
I’m curious to read Daemons are Forever to see how it plays out. It provides an extensive background on the Drood family along with their skills, preparedness, and ruthlessness. Actually, as I think about it, it is something of a blend between the Nightside and James Bond - Eddie has all these cool gadgets to play with! Although, there is a bar where anyone can gather - the Wulfshead as opposed to the Nightside’s Strangefellows. Only Eddie operates in the real world as opposed to the Nightside. Right along with the descriptive nicknames. A similar cast of enemies and sidekicks is certainly here. I swear, I kept waiting for JT to show up. It’s like the Nightside, but Eddie Drood is just a wannabe John Taylor. DOA, Property of a Lady Faire, The House on Widows Hillįirst in the Secret Histories urban fantasy series about a family who rules the world.
