Summary

Welcome to London, but not as you know it. A place where magics and horror run free, wonders and miracles are everyday things, and the dark streets are full of very shadowy people....

Gideon Sable is a thief and a con man. He specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't normally be stolen. Like a ghost's clothes, or a photo from a country that never existed. He even stole his current identity. Who was he originally? Now, that would be telling. One thing's for sure though, he's not the bad guy. The people he steals from always have it coming.

Gideon's planning a heist, to steal the only thing that matters from the worst man in the world. To get past his security, he's going to need a crew who can do the impossible...but luckily, he has the right people in mind. The Damned, the Ghost, the Wild Card...and his ex-girlfriend, Annie Anybody. A woman who can be anyone, with the power to make technology fall in love with her. If things go well, they'll all get what they want. And if they're lucky, they might not even die trying.

Interesting.

Not my kind of story but well presented. I prefer regular characters. Good background to when doing other things but not to sit and concentrate on.

spoilt

absolutely awful performance.
the story might have been ok but the decision to voice the main character as a condescending kids TV presenter from the 70s was odd. creepy and very uncool.
there was no way I could keep listening to him.

A Supernatural Oceans 11

Easy listen, and I enjoyed the characters, although as others have said, the main character is a tad condescending.

Brilliant

Clever, witty, dark and enthralling. A must read for anyone who enjoys a great story with a dash of myth about the catholic community.
