I haven't seen you review it and I hate to add to your pile but it was a fantastic book and thankfully standalone.

Great detective 40K fiction from Dan Abnett, pretty different from the all-out war featured in the IG or SM novels. The first book of the Ravenor trilogy is also pretty much set in a city.<br /><br />C.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-29949543876957912272010-04-29T13:32:03.546+00:002010-04-29T13:32:03.546+00:00Wouldn't worry about the City of Saints and Ma...Wouldn't worry about the City of Saints and Madmen, but Shriek - the title character of the afterword - is heavily referenced in Finch, and a little context does the novel the world of good.

I'll be reading that Vance series later this spring/summer. Zelazny was a nice, breezy read and I keep meaning to buy that Ballard autobiography.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.com
