Synopsis

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 . . .

Goodreads review by Ms. Nikki on January 19, 2015

Dear John, You are no longer the super-witty, over-comer of great odds, resource-laced little cad you used to be. Susie is my girl and all, but I have to wonder if you're holding her back with you. The Droods have their own series. Let them stay there. The elves have many kings and queens. Why are they......more

Goodreads review by Glen on July 08, 2018

PI John Taylor receives the sword Excalibur in the parcel post. After he and his Valkyrie girlfriend complain about duty for a while, Taylor leaves the Nightside and goes to London to find the last defenders of Camelot. Pretty much like everything else Green writes.......more

Goodreads review by Eric on June 22, 2021

The Nightside books are always entertaining, but I can’t help but feel that the returns are diminishing as the series goes on, though by the eleventh book of a series maybe that isn’t surprising. I’m not sure if the quality of the books has dropped a touch or if the same formula just isn’t quite as......more

Goodreads review by colleen the convivial curmudgeon on January 19, 2012

I'm going with 3 stars on this one as a sort of average rating. My biggest issue with this installment is that it's lacking some of the wit and humor and general cleverness* of some of the better installments and, also - and this is the biggest issue - that John has just gotten too powerful. Between......more
