Every Bullet Has a Silver Lining

by William F. Aicher, Bonnie Small (Editor)

"I was already dead by the time I was born, and I’ve died a lot of times since then. But somehow, someway, I came back. I always come back. My name is Phoenix Bones, and I hunt monsters."
----------------
The second novel in the International Monster Hunter series starts with a phone call and a WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WEREWOLVES?

Phoenix, being who he is, has had his own experiences with these big nasty man-hounds. But after the events in Germany, he's not quite sure if he's up to the task of helping.
But, if not him, who?
So off to Cairo Phoenix goes, to hunt some werewolves. Throw down with some mummies. Maybe even surf The Nile on a crocodile.
But things turn out to be much more complicated than Phoenix ever imagined. Is he out of his league? Does he really have what it takes to be an International Monster Hunter?

Find out in the exciting sequel to UNDEAD AS A DOORNAIL!

I wrote this, so I definitely read this.

I've read a bunch of William Aicher's books now, and they just keep getting better. He expertly uses Phoenix Bones and his exploits to create a fun, seemingly-light reading experience that actually includes some smart social commentary. I laughed out loud, I nodded in agreement, and I learned some things - and teased my 10yo by reading aloud all the Indiana Jones references. All around, a smart, fun read that I highly recommend. I also can't wait for the next book in the series :) GO READ IT.

This was my first encounter with the brilliantly-named Phoenix Bones, and I love him! Every Bullet is action-packed, funny and tongue-in-cheek, whilst simultaneously clever, thought-provoking and very human. Loved it!

William F. Aicher is one of the most original writers I've discovered during my 3 year search for overlooked authors.

I've read 4 of his works, plus various short stories. I have never felt that my time was wasted.
