Blood and Honor (Forest Kingdom, #2)
Simon R. Green
THE ENCHANTED PRINCE
Jordan had always prided himself on his acting abilities, but now he faced the challenge of his career. Magicked into looking exactly like Prince Viktor, middle son of the recently assassinated King Malcolm, Jordan had been hired to pretend to be the prince as a war of succession raged at Castle Midnight. With both Viktor's elder brother, Lewis, and his younger brother, Dominic, only too eager to dispatch their middle sibling, thereby increasing their own chances to gain the crown, Jordan soon found himself hard pressed to survive. And in a castle where the winds of Unreality might at any moment sweep down upon the unsuspecting, leaving behind little that was recognizably human, Jordan could only hope for a very short run in the role of prince and a quick escape from the kingdom with the fortune promised him for a successful job.
But fate--or perhaps a magical conspiracy--was about to rewrite the script for everyone at Castle Midnight, and only time would tell who would live to claim the throne and who would rule among the legions of the dead....

Rupert did find a fiery dragon-and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.

Deathstalker (Deathstalker, #1)
Simon R. Green
Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won’t protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just Outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she’s called the Iron Bitch.
Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen’s options are limited. Though the name Deathstalker still commands respect in certain quarters, out on the Rim, Owen is lucky he can cobble together a makeshift team of castoffs, including an ex-pirate, a cyborg, and a bounty hunter. But allies won’t be enough to save him.
If he’s to live, Owen can either run forever…or take down the corrupt Empire. To do that, he’ll need the fabled Darkvoid Device—an artifact dating back to the first Deathstalker and perhaps the only weapon powerful enough to help this ragtag rebellion win. The time has come for Owen to finally embrace his Deathstalker heritage…and all the blood and death that go along with it.
Deathstalker is the first book in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s beloved space opera series.

Si ces saletés n'ont pas encore conquis la planète, c'est que depuis toujours ma famille les en empêche. Nous montons la garde; nous vous protégeons du grand méchant loup, et vous ignorez jusqu'à notre existence.
Mon nom est Bond. Shaman Bond. D'accord, ce n'est que mon pseudo. Dans un boulot qui consiste à cogner sur des monstres abominables, un peu d'humour ne fait pas de mal. En vrai, je m'appelle Eddie Drood. Permis de tuer les agents des ténèbres. Ma famille est l'une des plus anciennes d'Angleterre. Et nous protégeons l'humanité contre les forces du mal depuis tant de siècles que nous avons arrêté de compter. C'était ça, mon boulot. Et je l'adorais. Jusqu'à ce qu'il m'explose à la gueule.

The Unnatural Inquirer (Nightside, #8)
Simon R. Green
John Taylor's the name. I'm a PI, working that small slice of mystical real estate in the hidden centre of London that's called the Nightside. It's a place where the sun refuses to rise, where monsters and men walk side by side, and where you can fulfill your every dark and depraved desire. What I do there, better than anybody else alive (or dead) is find things - for the right client, for the right price.
My new client can certainly afford me. The editor of the Unnatural Inquirer, the Nightside's most notorious gossip rag (the one everyone pretends not to read), has offered me one million pounds to find a man named Pen Donavon, who claims to have evidence of the Afterlife - picked up on a television broadcast and burned onto DVD. The Inquirer made Donavon a sweet deal for exclusive rights. Then both he and the disc vanished.
I don't know if the disc is on the level, but a job's a job (and a million pounds is a million pounds). Trouble is, not only are all of the usual suspects pretty dangerous individuals, but it's beginning to look like someone else - someone very powerful - is on the trail, too. And who - or what - ever it is, is deadly determined to find the disc first.
Vieux démons (Nightside, #1)
Simon R. Green
Je m'appelle Taylor, John Taylor. Ma carte de visite dit que je suis détective privé, mais en fait je suis plutôt un expert pour retrouver les objets perdus. Ça fait partie du don avec lequel je suis né... dans le Nightside. J'en suis parti il y a pas mal de temps pour sauver ma peau et ce qu'il me restait de raison. Aujourd'hui, je gagne ma vie au grand jour. Mais ces derniers temps, les clients se font rares. Aussi, lorsque Joanna Barrett a débarqué dans mon bureau, le fric suintant par tous les pores de sa peau, pour me demander de retrouver sa fugueuse de fille, je n'ai pas pu dire non. C'est là que j'ai découvert où sa fille s'était barrée. Dans le Nightside : deux kilomètres carré d'enfer en plein cœur de Londres, un endroit où il est toujours trois heures du mat' : où l'on croise des mythes à tous les coins de rue ; où l'on peut boire un pot avec un monstre. Faut pas s'y fier aux apparences et tout y est possible. J'avais juré de ne jamais y remettre les pieds. Mais une jeune fille est en danger, et sa mère compte sur moi. Alors je n'ai pas le choix : il faut que je rentre à la maison...
