They live amongst us, abhored, marginalised, despised. They are vampires, known politely as Sunless. The job of policing their community falls to the men and women of the Sunless Housing and Disclosure Executive - SHADE. Captain John Redlaw is London's most feared and respected SHADE officer. But when the vampires start rioting within their ghettoes, and angry humans respond with violence of their own, even Redlaw may not be able to keep the peace. Especially when political forces are aligning to introduce a radical answer to the Sunless problem, one that will resolve the situation once and for all...
‘Lovegrove has become to the 21st Century what JG Ballard was to the 20th...’ The Bookseller
‘This is the kind of complex, action-oriented fiction Dan Brown would write if Dan Brown could write.’ The Guardian on 'The Age of Zeus'
‘Intelligent and provocative, it’s yet more proof that Lovegrove is one of the UK SF scene’s most interesting, challenging and adventurous authors.’ Saxon Bullock, SFX on 'The Age of Ra'
‘It’s what I imagine the result would be if Neil Gaiman and Tom Clancy wrote a book together.’ Hi-Ex! on 'The Age of Odin'
'Difficult to put down... a thoroughly entertaining novel that I would recommend to those looking for a summer blockbuster’ Sacramento Book Review on 'Age of Odin'
Review
'You fully expect to hear that someone has snapped up the rights to a film version of the book... Well-written, gripping and hopefully the start of a long-running series.' - Sci-Fi Bulletin on Redlaw 'A lot of fun to read and gives you pause for thought at the same time. I really hope this is the start of the series and not a one-off.' - Graeme's Fantasy Book Review on Redlaw 'A stonking good read and a refreshing change to the paranormal romance that seems to dominate the bloodsucking genre. Buy it, read it, enjoy it.' - The British Fantasy Society on Redlaw
