Daemons Are Forever (Secret Histories #2) by Simon R. Green
Unrated

Second in the trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Man with the Golden Torc.

Eddie Drood's clan has been watching mankind's back for ages. And now he's in charge of the whole kit and caboodle. But it’s not going to be an easy gig...

During World War II, the Droods made a pact with some nasty buggers from another dimension known as the Loathly Ones, which they needed to fight the Nazis. But once the war was over, the Loathly Ones decided that they liked this world too much to leave. Now it's up to Eddie to make things very uncomfortable for them – or watch everything humanity holds dear go up in smoke.

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.
