Daemons Are Forever by Simon R. Green
2.0
I must admit to getting bored with this book and quitting in the middle. It's not something I normally do but the library wanted it back today and I wasn't fascinated enough for a marathon reading session.
The first book in this series, The Man with the Golden Torc, was very fast-paced and full of suspense--a lot like the James Bond series Green is supposed to be riffing.
Unfortunately Daemons Are Forever doesn't live up to its predecessor. The action (or lack thereof) is extremely plodding and much of the first part is spent bringing the reader up to speed on the events of the last book.
The characters in Daemons seem to be channeling the players from Green's Nightside series--Interesting but not enough without the Nightside background to hold the story up.
