This is a fun romp through standard, if well used urban
fantasy tropes. Police detective Arthur
Wallace stumbles into a secret world of magic & Lovecraftian horror. He’s enlisted in the super-secret MI37, whose
mission is to protect our reality. While
all his fellow agents have special abilities or skills, he’s just a copper with
a job to do.
The pacing is excellent, with intrigue and action propelling
you along. There’s a generous dose of
humor used to cut the action and horror.
While utterly entertaining, I found myself wishing that
there was something a bit more original here.
Tropes can be great fun, but when the roadmap is followed so closely, it
is a bit disappointing.
