Welcome to London, but not as you know it. A place where magics and horror run free, wonders and miracles are everyday things, and the dark streets are full of very shadowy people . . . Gideon Sable is a thief and a con man. He specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't normally be stolen. Like a ghost's clothes, or a photo from a country that never existed. He even stole his current identity. Who was he originally? Now, that would be telling. One thing's for sure though, he's not the bad guy. The people he steals from always have it coming. Gideon's planning a heist, to steal the only thing that matters from the worst man in the world. To get past his security, he's going to need a crew who can do the impossible . . . but luckily, he has the right people in mind. The Damned, the Ghost, the Wild Card . . . and his ex-girlfriend, Annie Anybody. A woman who can be anyone, with the power to make technology fall in love with her. If things go well, they'll all get what they want. And if they're lucky, they might not even die trying . . .

Mon nom est Bond. Shaman Bond. Permis de tuer les agents des ténèbres. Tout est vrai. Tout ce qui vous fait peur. Théories du complot, monstres sous le lit, fantômes et vampires. 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.

With the monsters of old wiped out, Daniel and Tina of Hyde, Inc., face a greater foe— from beyond the stars.Whatever happened to all the old monsters?The vampires, the werewolves, the ghouls . . . Daniel & Tina Hyde wiped them out, to make the world a safer place. But nature abhors a vacuum, supernature even more . . . Something’s got to fill the gap left by all those monster clans. The question now is, what happened to all the old aliens? The Martians, the Bug-Eyed Monsters, the Reptiloids and the Greys?They’re coming out of the shadows with a vengeance, and Daniel and Tina Hyde are about to discover there are much worse things than monsters. Fortunately, Hydes love a good fight.Daniel and Tina are in for the fight of their lives, with the whole world at stake.

HYDE IN THE SHADOWS Daniel Carter was a London cop who just wanted to do the right thing. But during a raid on an organ-selling chop shop, he is almost torn to pieces by monsters. And no one believes him. Hurt and crippled, his career over and his life in ruins, Daniel is suddenly presented with a chance at redemption. And revenge. It seems that more than two centuries ago, the monsters of the world disappeared—into the underworld of crime. Guild-like Clans now have control over all the dark and illegal trades, from the awful surgeries of the Frankenstein Clan, to the shadowy and seductive Vampire Clan, to the dreaded purveyors of drugs and death, the Clan of Mummies. And there’s always the Werewolf Clan, to keep order. Only one force stands opposed to the monster Clans: the superstrong, extremely sexy, quick-witted Hydes! Now Daniel is just one sip of Dr. Jekyll’s Elixir away from joining their company. At Jekyll & Hyde Inc.
