    About this ebook

    Ich bin John Taylor. Ich bin in der Nightside geboren, den gut zweieinhalb Quadratkilometern im verborgenen Herzen Londons, in denen immer Geisterstunde ist, in denen Götter und Monster Seite an Seite wandeln und wo es auf jede prekäre Frage eine Antwort gibt - wenn der Preis stimmt. Ich war ein Weilchen weg, aber ich bin wieder da, um von dem zu leben, was ich besser kann als jeder andere: Dinge finden - seien sie vergessen oder gestohlen, real oder fiktiv. Kürzlich habe ich das Gefährlichste überhaupt gefunden: die wahre Identität meiner lange verschollenen Mutter. Es zeigte sich, dass sie schon seit der Morgenröte der Schöpfung existiert. Damals schuf sie die Nightside - und jetzt will sie sie aus Gründen, die nur ihr eigenes krankes Hirn versteht, wieder vernichten. Um sie aufzuhalten, bevor sie überhaupt loslegen kann, muss ich weit reisen - rückwärts in der Zeit, durch Äonen in eine sehr ferne - und wahrscheinlich tödliche - Vergangenheit.

      Continuation of the Lilith storyline. I wasn't too crazy about the whole traveling back in time part of the story. That's because I've never been a fan of any story that uses time travel. It tends to cause more problems that not.

      That being said, this is still a good transition book from the first part to the last. Decent read.
    • 3/5
      This one was good but it really felt like a middle book of a trilogy, which in a way it was because it is the cont. of the mom story from the last book. It still felt like I need to get from point A to point C, so here is a little B to tide you over.
    • 3/5
      This is a good addition to the Nightside series. I am always impressed with Green's ability to play on words and fiddle with history just a bit. I'm not too sure how I feel about this series become more of a mythology series than a Taylor solving the most recent mystery series. I feel now that it becomes imperative that each book be read in order and that I understand what's happening with all the characters because I might miss something in future books.

      Marc Vietor is a wonderful narrator and I hope to listen to more of his work in the future. If you want some good, easy fantasy books to listen to during your commute or while working around the house, I'd recommend the Nightside series.
    • 4/5
      Although this book didn't have the mystery and twist endings that I like, it was still a good book. I thought the idea of time travel was neat.
    • 5/5
      Review of the audiobook (driving to work has never been so much fun!):At the end of 'Hex and the City' John Taylor announces he's going to go back in time to find the Nightside's orgins. I loved that book, but that statement filled me with dread. Why create this alternate world filled with vampires, ghosts, laser weapon technology and man-eating cars if you're just going to abandon it? And for the opening chunk of the book (which is essentially 'Hex' part 2) I honestly thought the story was going to fall apart. Fortunately, after a slow start it actually turns out to be pretty good. The Nightside of yesterday is darker than ever, magics and technologies less refined and more dangerous, and some of the events genuinely shock.As with most of Simon R. Green's books, the pay-off at the end is worth putting up with the slump in the middle but as the slump came at the start this book just gets better as it goes on! The scene at Hern's court is amazing, best sequence of the series for me, and we actually bear witness to the creation of the Nightside!Marc Vietor continues his blinding narration of the series, creating a sense of a darker more primal Nightside.
    • 3/5
      Perhaps too much reliance on existing events and characters--lots of "oh, so that's what really happened hundreds of years ago and led to what happened in the present!" Some tying up of loose ends, but little stand-alone. Again, moving along the greater story but little independent adventure. Actually, I think this one was almost written as a series of short stories with slight threads between them. Making it a full book seemed like an after thought.
    • 3/5
      Normally I love Simon Green's Nightside series, but I found this one merely decent. There was too much time travel that seemed to almost take away from the story, not help it. Normally I don't mind time travel, but this one I just couldn't get into.
    • 2/5
      I wasn't very keen on this book. I haven't read the other books in this series, but I have read other Simon Green books and perhaps that coloured my expectations. I felt that Taylor was rather stupid and simplistic. He continually reminds the reader that searching for his mother leads to a dark future. So therefore he searches for her to try to destroy her. It really is tedious.I also felt that the plot was rather stretched out. I would far rather have seen maybe one stop in time (preferably the stop where our heroes encounter Herne the Hunter, my favourite portion of the novel) followed by a more in detail encounter with Lillith and the start of Nightside and then the following battle between John and Lillith for the existence of Nightside. Instead there are multiple, rather tedious stops and the whole novel stops just as it gets going. Its all very well that its part of a sequel, but stopping just before the main battle isn't just a cliffhanger, its a cop out.Aside from anything else, I thought that Suzie was a far more interesting and nuanced character than John. I would really have liked to see the story from inside her head. Instead we were trapped with John, whose simplistic logic made no sense for the kind of character he was built up to be.Perhaps it would have been better had I read the whole series, and I will admit that I am intrigued by the story, but I have to say that the writing was really quite poor and on writing quality alone I wouldn't recommend this book.
    • 3/5
      My least favorite of the series. Taylor and Suzie Shotgun go back in time to the beginning of the Nightside to try to find a way to stop Lilith. Love the series, but meh on this one.
    • 3/5
      I like the story but continue to be baffled by the basic problem with the continuing storyline: if Taylor messes with finding out who his mother is, he causes the horrible future - and so he immediately thinks of nothing but his mother and investigating and actually talking with her, which would seem to be exactly the wrong thing to do.
    • 4/5
      After finding that Lilith is his mother John Taylor and Shotgun Suzie travel back to the creation of the nightside looking for a way to stop her and prevent the destruction of the world. Another good book in the series that is hard to put down.
    • 4/5
      Another great installment in the Nightside series. It picks up right where the last book left off, continuing the drama of John’s long, lost mom wanting to destroy the Nightside. It’s very dark, as usual, but more depressing than the other books because of its focus on the characters’ emotional issues. There’s also more romance, though it hardly feels romancy when the pair in question can’t touch each other, are extremely scarred both physically and emotionally, and almost never put down their shotgun. Regardless, I enjoyed going deeper into the characters personal lives, and I like that no one is entirely good or entirely bad. Everyone lives in shades of gray, especially John, whose choices in this book can be viewed as either cruel and selfish or as necessary evils in pursuit of a noble purpose - or maybe a little of both. I was also excited to finally have some of the many mysteries cleared up even though the story is definitely not wrapped up. Green drops a huge clue towards the end that’s clearly the answer to how everything will be fixed, but the protagonist has yet to realize it. I’m looking forward to reading book six to find out what happens next.

      This is the 5th book in the Nightside series by Simon Green. This book followed a similar format to the last book, in that it is more of series book than a self-contained adventure. Still it was a fun read, quick paced, and very creative.In this book John Taylor travels with Shotgun Suzie and Tommy Oblivion back through time to find out how the Nightside was created. So, pretty much this book is what the last book said it was going to be.Occasionally because of the time travel the story seems a little disjointed. The only other negative was that the continuous descriptions of how the Nightside looked at each new time point got to be a bit drawn out. This book is also another short one, but that seems to be how this series is.There were quite a few good things about this book. I liked how a lot of seemingly random events from the past books were given a reason in this book. It was cool that Green tied the events together so well. It was good to see Shotgun Suzie again. Mostly it was just interesting to see how the character's actions in this book affected the future. It begs the question; could they have really changed the future or were they destined to do what their future selves did in the past so that the future would end up how it was? Time travel circular logic, as John Taylor says, does make your head hurt.Overall, a great book, and a good addition to the series. I am excited to see how this series continues.
    • 4/5
      I always have mixed feelings when I get my hands on a Novel of the Nightside Book. On one hand, I get a wonderful story that exemplifies darkness and all the evil in the world, on the other hand, I get a book that makes me cringe in just how dark that world is. I will never read a book in this series more than once and this one is no different. Okay, our anti-hero John Taylor discovered his lineage, and it is not nice. There are a few plot holes, mostly why does John want to go back in time to stop his evil mother. I suspect it might have been covered in the book before this, but I have not read it. The nice thing about these books is while there is a direct lineage between them, each book is a self contained story with only minor references to previous books.Overall, a good read. Just don't read it anytime before bedtime.
    • 5/5
      This fifth book in the series returns us to the fantastically awful world of the Nightside, a hidden world within London where it is always 3am. Our hero, John Taylor, has learned his mother's identity and begins a trip through time to discover a way to defeat her and save the Nightside she created. Stunningly creative, the Nightside grabs the imagination and keeps you coming back for more in a noir detective series that really is all about the night.
    • 4/5
      This is not a good standalone. Many of the other books in the series are good standalones but this is a serious bridge book, it's a book that fills in some of the background and the way things will have to go for John Taylor. He has to go into the past to meet with his mother, Lilith, to find ways of dealing with her, meeting up with some pivotal characters and meeting with a lot of the characters and important people in the world.It's one of the weakest I've read in this series but it's not a bad read, it fills in some gaps and progresses the plot. This is a series that I will have to re-read in sequence some day.
    • 4/5
      Although this comes after "Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth" according to the publishers, it's set immediately before it. I don't have a problem with that normally, but this time it would have been nice to have read them in chronological order rather than publishers order.Very much in the same mould, but this time John Taylor and Shotgun Suzie travel into the past, witness the birth of the Nightside and so much more.
    • 4/5
      no spoilers! just a synopsisI didn't like this one as much as I have the others, but that's okay. It was still quite good; just a little slower to start and get to the heart of the story. Our hero, John Taylor, in Book #4 "Hex and the City," decided that the only way to face down his mother (whose identity was discovered in said book) was to travel back through time and face her when she was at her weakest, after the creation of the Nightside. If you haven't read the first four books, you have absolutely no clue what I am talking about. Anyway, he takes Tommy Oblivion and Shooter Suzie with him on the journey, traveling back in time a bit at a time until he reaches his final destination.Often very funny, the story is just another step in the direction of the answer to what will be the future of the Nightside and of John Taylor? Will all of the things he foresaw in the timeslip in the original story come to pass? Or was that just one probable timeline? Is he even now creating the conditions that cause him to create the enemies who are always trying to kill him? I will say that this installment was more suspenseful than any of the others, just because it leaves so many questions unanswered.Oh...and for you Cthulhu fans: Lots of sideways mention of the Church of Dagon here...very cool! Don't start with this one; follow the series from its beginning! This is a great set of books and I'm going to be the first in the door of my local Borders store once the next one is released!
