More About This Book

Overview

The fifth Eddie Drood novel from the New York Times bestselling author.

After the murder of the Drood Matriarch, the family finds itself vulnerable to evil. This time, it's a Satanic Conspiracy that could throw humanity directly into the clutches of the Biggest of the Bads...

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Urban noir fantasy hits a high note with this new number of Simon R. Green's Secret Histories series. In For Heaven's Eyes Only, Eddie Drood and his witch paramour Molly Metcalf are up to their ears in evil plotting Satanists. Like other books in this series, For Heaven's Eyes Only possesses a slightly twisted 007 style. In fact, its hero has been rightly hailed as "a hard-boiled, fast-talking, druidic James Bond and its title is a hat tip to Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only. A nice fit for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.

Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Green adds a winning fifth entry to his Secret Histories series (after From Hell with Love). Eddie Drood, aka secret agent Shaman Bond, and his family are the last line of defense between humanity and the big, bad, magical things that go bump in the night. When Eddie and his witch lover, Molly Metcalf, stumble across a Satanist conspiracy, the Droods vow to stop the Satanists' horrific plan, which involves a mysterious Great Sacrifice. Along the way, Eddie tackles every possible over-the-top supernatural action situation—an office building full of bad guys, a Supernatural Arms Faire—with aplomb. Clever world-building, madcap characters, cheeky one-liners, and a James Bond feel make this series stand out, and a surprise ending will have readers eagerly anticipating the next Eddie Drood adventure.

Library Journal
Shaman Eddie Drood, of the power-wielding Drood family, wakes after a near-death experience to find the family in chaos, its Matriarch murdered by someone within. In addition, a new Satanic Conspiracy threatens the world, seeking to take advantage of the Droods' weakness. Green's latest addition to his witty urban fantasy series (The Man with the Golden Torc; Daemons Are Forever) continues its spoof of the James Bond adventure/suspense genre as well as the supernatural detective story. Drood is a likable character with a devoted and uncannily sensible wife as his support and better half. VERDICT Series fans should enjoy this extended parody and the genuine storytelling skill that lies beneath it.

    Good story; ePub formatting issues

    The sory is good and Mr. Green is finally moving away from all the cliched James Bond references. He is still including cameos of characters from his Nightside series, but this doesn't feel like a cheat the way his use of Giles Deathstalker in an earlier story did. Eddie Drood and friends (and enemies and family) has finally come into his own. There is a problem with formatting in the ePub version, but I don't think this is Mr. Green's fault. In several places the opening quotation marks are missing from a conversation. This makes following the conversation more difficult than it needs to be. I hope these missing quotes are in the print version. (I just did a quick search of my notes and found I had marked thirty instances of missing quotation marks. For $13 [more than a paperback] I don't think having these flaws is acceptable.)

    The latest Secret Histories urban (and mountain) fantasy (see From Hell with Love) is a superb thriller

    Eddie "Shaman Bond" Drood, his lover Molly Metcalf the witch and his family defend humanity against evil paranormal monsters. Eddie and Molly learn of a horrific Satanist plot from beyond when his spirit was a prisoner in Limbo and she came to take him home to Drood Hall. Needing help, Eddie enlists his Uncles the Armourer and the Librarian and Molly's sister Isabella.

    The team finds further evidence of the Great Sacrifice project that has been deployed in Little Stoke. A confused Eddie and Molly obtain assistance from Ammonia vom Acht the telepath to enable the Librarian to fully function. As they dig deeper, neither Eddie, Molly or the rest of team anticipated the betrayal that leaves their side tottering towards hell since the armor fails while earth is being turned into a supernatural battlefield with a paranormal weapons commodity market thriving in the Himalayas.

    The latest Secret Histories urban (and mountain) fantasy (see From Hell with Love) is a superb thriller that has the Drood brood trying to save the world. The story line is fast-paced and satirically over the top of the Himalayas as Eddie's zoo crew is certifiable, but then again who would not be if they were fighting supernatural monsters. With a lampooning nod to James Bond in an urban fantasy earth, fans will relish For Heavens Eyes Only and await the direct sequel Live and Let Drood.

    One of better of this series

    Drood is a gas and complements John Taylor well (tales from the nightside). This series seemsto be getting better (and wilder) as it goes along.

    Eddie Drood Rocks!!!

    This is one awesome book. It starts off pratically where the last one left off and it is a rolling rocking rollercoaster ride. From page one to the last page. I would recommend this one for anyone that has been reading the series. And if you haven't read the Secret Histories series what are you waiting for. Eddie Drood and Molly Metcalf are awesome!
