Dr. DOA

Secret Histories #10 / 12
by Simon R. Green
Dr. DOA (Secret Histories #10) by Simon R. Green
Unrated

From the New York Times bestselling author of From a Drood to a Kill comes the next Secret Histories adventure...
 
The name is Drood, Eddie Drood, also known as Shaman Bond. My family has been safeguarding humanity for generations, facing the hidden horrors of the world so you can sleep at night and remain oblivious to the existence of the monstrous nightmares that walk and stalk among us.
 
Speaking of predatory night terrors, there is a man who gets away with murder. A man who specializes in removing the problems from other people’s lives, by killing the people who cause those problems. He operates from the darkest shadows of the hidden world, coming and going unseen. No-one knows who he is, just his nomme du muerte. Dr. DOA.
 
Somehow, this demented doc poisoned me. I don’t know how he did it, when or where, but whatever is coursing through my veins seems to be immune to magic cures and treatments. But that’s not going to stop me from finding him and whoever hired him and give them both a taste of their own medicine...

Simon R. Green

Simon R. Green writes like someone with one foot in the shadows and the other in a cosmic madhouse—blending noir, fantasy, and science fiction in ways that defy neat categorization. Whether he's guiding readers through the eerie alleyways of the Nightside, a city where it’s always 3 a.m. and miracles cost extra, or unleashing chaos in the multiverse with the Deathstalker saga, Green never settles for the expected. His stories are darkly funny, unabashedly strange, and full of sharp edges hidden beneath layers of magic and menace.

Born in Bradford-on-Avon, England, Green grew up with a fondness for the strange and supernatural. That affinity for the weird never faded—it just evolved. After studying modern English and American literature, he dove headfirst into writing, and hasn’t come up for air since. Early on, he worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, including writing a novelization for the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves film, but it’s his original worlds where his voice truly comes alive.

Green's signature style—dry wit, cinematic action, and a relentless drive to upend genre tropes—has earned him a loyal following over the decades. His protagonists rarely fit the mold of the classic hero; they’re more likely to carry hidden weapons, emotional scars, and a deep mistrust of authority. The Secret Histories series, following the James Bond-meets-occult operative Eddie Drood, is a perfect example: espionage meets eldritch horror, wrapped in swagger and sarcasm.

Across more than 50 novels, Green has built a literary multiverse where urban fantasy, science fiction, and supernatural thrillers collide, often with blood on the walls and a knowing smirk. He doesn’t just tell stories—he breaks them open, letting all the strange and dangerous things spill out.

For readers who crave genre fiction with teeth—and maybe a trench coat or two stained with otherworldly ichor—his work remains a gateway to the delightfully bizarre.
