Oh, Simon..when will you learn?
Simon Strong, Marked of Kali, Hellhound bonded, partner to Battle Mage Montague, lover of a vampire elder (her name escapes me at the moment..Michiko?) gets contacted by his old black ops organization, Shadow Company, for one last job. Immediately, he contacts Monty, who is still recovering from a schism (see book 12 for info), and off they go. Of COURSE there is a second (and third) more dangerous plot that Simon fails to grasp until he is knee deep in the Rapids of disaster. Magic, shootouts, magic shootouts, hellhound appetites, and corny Simon jokes are on the menu. Another fun romp, but why is it always racism/xenophobia? Sheesh, bad guys; get a clue.
