Welcome to the Nightside. For those foolish enough to seek it out, it's a literal tourist trap, populated by beings, human and otherwise, who have never seen the sun rise. A place where your dreams can come true—as long as your nightmares don't get you first.

My name is John Taylor. I'm a PI with a special talent for finding lost things. I'm also the reluctant owner of a very special—and dangerous—weapon: Excalibur, the legendary sword (which isn't what you think it is, and never was). Excalibur chose me, and to find out why, I'll have to consult the last defenders of Camelot, a group of knights who dwell in a place that some find more frightening than the Nightside.

London Proper. It's been years since I've been back—and there are good reasons for that . . .

      Private Investigator John Taylor returns for Green's eleventh Nightside novel. By now, Marc Vietor knows this series inside and out, and he uses his warm, rich baritone to good effect in bringing the cheeky characters to life. Taylor and his Valkyrie love, Shotgun Suzie, are in a violent, mystical race to find King Arthur and reunite him with the sword Excalibur. Fans of the series know what to expect: brief scenes of violence interspersed with longer stretches of exposition. Vietor has fun with the text, growling his way through Taylor's lines, giving listeners over-the-top villains and a fittingly dramatic King Arthur. His narration makes for a fun trip through this urban fantasy world. G.D. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Private investigator John Taylor returns in the 12th novel (after 2010's The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny) of the Nightside, "the dark, secret, brooding heart of London." Having killed the former Walker, the voice of the Authorities, Taylor's now the closet thing the Nightside has to a leader. When the sword Excalibur shows up in the mail, he must return to London Proper to consult with the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table. The blood runs red (and golden) as he teams up with King Arthur and tangles with Merlin, elven royalty, traitor knights, sons of the devil, the Lady of the Lake, and various creatively named denizens of the Nightside. Taylor's irrepressible sarcasm and a twisted take on quotidian scenes compensate for a few too many solemn, self-important pronouncements and evil-overlord lectures.
