About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Simon Green introduces a new kind of hero, one who fights the good fight against some very old foes in the first novel in the Secret Histories series.

The name’s Bond. Shaman Bond. Actually, that's just his cover. His real name is Eddie Drood, but when your job includes a license to kick supernatural arse on a regular basis, you find your laughs where you can.

For centuries, his family has been the secret guardian of Humanity, all that stands between all of you and all of the really nasty things that go bump in the night. As a Drood field agent, he wore the golden torc, he killed monsters, and he protected the world. He loved his job.

Right up to the point where his own family declared him rogue for no reason. Now, the only people who can help Eddie prove his innocence are the people he used to consider his enemies....

The story was a fun, easy listen but I just couldn’t make sense of where the accents were meant to be from. Was the main character Australian? I hope that a general apology has been issued to anyone from Pakistan or it might have been the Welsh mountains or the Outer Hebrides.

Fun story but interesting accents

In my head, when I read the book, Molly's voice was more girly and not as grand.

a brilliant mix of a spy thriller and fantasy.
