Summary: Hawk & Fisher = Rupert & Julia...?
Review: Simon R. Green has been the longstanding favorite author of mine, period, and after reading Blue Moon Rising at least a dozen times, I fell equally in love with the entire Hawk & Fisher series. The way Green is able to keep me hooked to the turn of each page with his intriguing style of writing is incredible. I definitely recommend these books to anyone who enjoys personality, humor, intrigue & mystery mixed in with their sci-fi/fantasy world, instead of just the usual, mundane warrior clash stories. I believe that Hawk & Fisher HAVE to be Rupert & Julia (from Green's Blue Moon Rising). Hawk & Fisher claim that those aren't their real names, and Hawk has an eyepatch, and the fact that they admitted to being in the Long Night... there;s hints at this in each book. BUT the only thing that gets me is, they are present at the reading of the will of Duncan MacNeil, who was an older man at the time of his death. Duncan was the one in Down Among The Dead Men, who was also around during the Blue Moon..how could he have aged so much, but Rupert & Julia are still in their late 20s? That's the only catch... In any case, these books are INCREDIBLE. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Three Great Books in One
Review: The Swords of Haven is a collection of first three books of the Hawk & Fisher series: Hawk & Fisher, Winner Take All, and The God Killer. The first story, Hawk & Fisher, is an intriguing murder mystery. Hawk and Fisher, set to guard an important person during a party, have to find out who is killing off the guests one by one. In the second book, Hawk and Fisher are guarding the life of a political candidate, which isn't as easy as you'd first think. In the third story, Hawk and Fisher are assigned to the God Squad, the small group that keeps order on Haven's Street of the Gods. Someone is killing the gods and the other gods, understandably, are frightened. If someone doesn't do something, the gods might take matters into their own hands, and Haven might not survive a war amongst the gods. Hawk and Fisher are a husband and wife fighting team. They are notorious in Haven, and people on the wrong side of the law wisely steer clear of them. They have a penchant for violence, and the fight scenes are many in this book. But don't let the tough guy exterior fool you. Hawk and Fisher are also intelligent, witty in a dark, tongue in cheek way, and are handy at solving mysteries. I read Simon R. Green's book Blue Moon Rising before I read Sword of Haven, and while it is not necessary to do so, I'm glad I did. Swords of Haven is based in the same world, and there is some talk in book of when the Blue Moon rose. I would also recommend reading Swords of Haven and Guards of Haven before reading Beyond the Blue Moon.
