(prelude to the Deathstalker series)

Set in the popular Deathstalker universe. 'Mistworld' tells the tale of the Empire attack on the free planet of Mistworld, haven of outlaws and rebels, using Typhoid Mary. 'Ghostworld' introduces Captain Silence and his crew as they respond to an emergency on the (supposedly) dead planet of Unseeli. 'Hellworld' finds Captain Hunter and his scouts stranded on a nightmarish planet.

All three novellas either introduce characters that later appear in the main Deathstalker epic series, or concern events that are later referred to in the main Deathstalker epic series.

The Deathstalker series is partly a parody of the usual space-opera of the 1950s, told with sovereign disregard of the rules of probability, while being at the same time extremely bloodthirsty.

Hawk and Fisher are a husband and wife team on the City Guard, an order which functions rather like our modern police force in a fantasy world of mixed Medieval, Renaissance and Industrial Revolution stylings. They live in the port city of Haven, a city-state so corrupt that they can justly make the claim of being the only Guards who have never taken a bribe or looked the other direction. They deal with everything from pick-pockets to wide-scale destructive magic.

(prelude to the Hawk and Fisher series)

'Blue Moon Rising': the story of Prince Rupert of the Forest Kingdom and Princess Julia of Hillsdown. Originally, Julia was intended to marry Rupert's brother, but was sacrificed to a dragon instead. The dragon neglected to eat her, and instead kept her around until Rupert came by to rescue him from her. Having made a mess of the heroic quest Rupert was supposed to fulfill, they then proceed to get caught in a war and eventually leave to escape their reputations.

This book series was supposed to be a trilogy, but due to the great popularity of the books Simon R. Green has decided to continue with the series. The next book title is "For Heaven's Eyes Only." Publication date unknown.

These books are the adventures of Edwin Drood, AKA Shaman Bond (His field name; it is a parody of James Bond's name) and he is a part of the Droods, an ancient family that purportedly watches over the world and protects it from various threats, including supernatural and magical ones. Needless to say, they are wholeheartedly despised by criminals. Each Drood is entrusted with a Golden (And, for some time, silver) Torc, which bestows a certain "Living Armour" upon the wearer, giving them nearly unlimited strength, speed, durability and stealth, which can be called up or dispelled at will. The torc also grants the wearer the Sight, allowing him to see through most magical and scientific disguises, translates any language, prevents the user from appearing in any kind of photography, videotaping, or tracking of any kind (Including tracking by other Droods), prevents the user's soul from being taken away (By daemons or other creatures of the sort), and a whole host of other abilities.

Edwin (He is usually referred to as "Eddie") is a field agent of the Droods who operates in the London area. During his early childhood in the Hall, the Drood's base of operations, Eddie came to hate the family due to its strict discipline and the lack of freedom given to him. At some point, the Matriarch agreed with Eddie to have him leave the Hall and base his operations outside of it. He still owed allegiance to the family and did missions for them, but was able to avoid living in the Hall and thus had much more freedom in his living.
