So, so good. I wasn't expecting a lot, since the previous book I read by him didn't blow me away, but this one is definitely worth reading.

This was an interesting one. On one hand, it's actually very well written and plotted. It moves along at a screaming pace and has a very confident voice. On the other hand, it's written by a dude who very much believes that everything he doesn't like is communism and satanism and the class system of the British Empire good and just, and also that women should know their place.
So, you know, a mixed bag. But it's a decent book, all the same. Just very heavily a product of its time and place.

As an unashamed Norm fan, I loved it. In fact, I had to stop reading it while I was in bed, because my shuddering laughter kept waking up my wife.

Yeah, I think I am not a fan. The two story elements never really gelled together and, boy oh boy, did it drag into endless tedium. Characters never really stood out from each other, and, heavens, did Simmons make sure that I knew exactly what every female character's(both of them) breasts looked like. Over and over again.

Welcome back to the brash, brutal new world of the twenty-fifth century: where global politics …
Very different to the first book. This one is more of a sci fi story than a murder mystery. Some of the plotting got confusing, and I may have missed a few things, but overall, I liked it.

It was okay. I think it's possible that I'm just not into him as an author. I liked Talisman, but wasn't wild about Shadowlands or Hellfire Club. I think I just don't like his prose, it feels tortured and scattered and unfocused. But, hey, I've been known to have bad taste. It is interesting that this predates Stephen King's It, and they both share a lot of ideas.

Pretty weak, overall. No story really stood out and they were all pretty mild, not at all brutal and horrific like the intro suggests.
