On a related topic Mike’s latest prose novel with his freelance exorcist Felix Castor came out very recently from Orbit; The Naming of the Beasts. That makes five books in the series so far and I stand by my previous assertion that it’s one of the best series going at the moment. In fact I’d have to say each new installment has drawn me in deeper and deeper – the damned things are addictive! While each volume has its own main story there is a strong feeling of continuity from novel to novel (so its best to start at the beginning with Devil You Know) and the background details that have been hinting at a larger picture developing across each novel are getting stronger with each book, which just makes them even more absorbing. Highly recommended.
