Guards of Haven: The Adventures of Hawk & Fisher: Wolf in the Fold, Guard Against Dishonor, the Bones of Haven

Summary: Blue Moon Rising was fairly good...
Review: but these two sets of "short" stories fall short of the original book. Although, even Blue Moon Rising was ended far too easily. I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll keep this short. Parts of the story are quite corny, where Hawk & Fisher ask "Why?!" and then the bad guy, nearing death, confesses to his crime. The third story, "Bones of Haven," is probably the worst, with Hawk & Fisher having to do very little wrap things up and save Haven (again). All in all, it's a fun read, but I probably won't keep these taking up shelfspace.

Summary: If you loved the first 3 books...
Review: Great read, i highly recommend this book to anyone who loved the first 3 books. Great plots, suspence and action. Long live Hawk & Fisher. I can't wait til Mr. Green comes out with his next book.

Summary: Simon R. Green has never done me wrong
Review: I discovered Green at Coliseum books in NYC (Now sadly closed) when I just wanted something similar to mental popcorn to pour through on the odd quiet night. Boy was I in for a shock. I'm now a slavish devotee of his work in any setting, but it was Hawk and Fisher that laid the bait. An effortless wordsmith, Green blends humor and turn of phrase in a way that just delights. The plots may not always be convoluted or hard to decipher, but I have never ever cared. It's always been about how we got there. Do yourself a favor and pick up Green.

Summary: I'm sorry if I offend any one
Review: I'm sorry if I offend any one, but I find Mr. Green's writing in this book to be very poor. I have read his first Deathstalker book and found it to be very enjoyable. This book however makes me wonder if he wrote it while still in high school. The charaters have no depth to them and they seem to be a continual attempt to look and act tough. I really did not care for this book.

Summary: Action and Characters Make Hawk & Fisher #1
Review: My favorite books are the Hawk & Fisher series from Simon R. Green. I have read the entire series and I highly recommend these stories, which are seemingly set in modern-Barbaric times. The continuous action and character description (especially the villains) keeps me going page after page. The plot twists and imagination of Mr. Green takes the reader through a roller coaster ride of thrills! I love the diverse creatures in "The Bones of Haven" jailbreak sequence which include a cursed portrait of a creature that escapes if it locks eyes with someone who would then end up trapped in the portrait in it's place. Another favorite is "Wolf in the Fold" which pits Hawk & Fisher against a castle full of suspects while trying to find which one is a murderer in this "Whodunit" type of story. A great climax at the end. These books should be made to movies. What do you say, Mr. Green?

Summary: Thanks to Simon Green
Review: One word...Wulf Saxon. "...Covered in blood, none of it his..." I was drawn in to Greens world with masterful ease. The man can write. I have successfuly hooked all my friends on his books. Meeting Hawk and Fisher was a wonderful time. The wit and humor of Green struck my funny bone squarely and soundly. I wish and hope for more Hawk and Fisher adventures to come...

Summary: Beware if you are buying more of this series...
Review: These are quite enjoyable sword and sorcery cop stories, with a tongue in cheek approach. None of the plot twists are especially surprising, but they're fun to read all the same. Beware if you are planning on buying more of this series though - the three stories in this book are THE SAME STORIES as in "Fear and Loathing in Haven" by the same author. The names of each of the stories was changed. It's a different publisher, which may account for it somehow, though it's very annoying...
