FORESEE NO EVIL.
Freelancing for the Atlanta PD isnt exactly a secure career; my jobs been on the line almost as much as my life. But its a paycheck, and it keeps me from falling back into the drug habit. Plus, things are looking up with my sometimes-partner, Cherabino, even if she is still simmering over the telepathic Link I created by accident.
When my ex, Kara, shows up begging for my help, I find myself heading to the last place I ever expected to set foot in againGuild headquartersto investigate the death of her uncle. Joining that group was a bad idea the first time. Going back when Im unwanted is downright dangerous.
Luckily, the Guild needs me more than theyre willing to admit. Karas uncle was acting strange before he diedcrazy strange. In fact, his madness seems to be slowly spreading through the Guild. And when an army of powerful telepaths loses their marbles, suddenly its a game of life or death.
Review
"A surprisingly moving tale of self-sacrifice and hope in the midst of chaos and loss."
-Monsters and Critics
"Green delivers on the high-stakes action/adventure...Fans of fast-paced heroics, featuring a snarky knight armored in silver and sarcasm, need look no further; Eddie Drood is your guy."
-SF Revu
"Green loves the widescreen splash of cinematic battles against zombie hordes, and genuine traces of tragedy and nobility underlie the nonstop punning banter and pop culture references, lending surprising nuance to this merry metaphysical romp."
-Publishers Weekly
