The Domino Men - Jonathan Barnes
Henry Lamb is a file clerk in a typical office building, hiding from a brief career as a child star on the BBC and his not-so-funny-but-often-repeated punch line, “don’t blame me, blame Grandpa.” He finds himself conscripted into the Directorate and an age-old fight against the royal Windsor family, the latter of which is seeking to bring Leviathan into being. I was pleased to see the Prefects return from Barnes’ “Somnambulist,” as I enjoyed their wit and (deadly) practical jokes. This book actually just came out in the U.K. and isn’t scheduled for release in the U.S. until 2009 (but Amazon UK will ship it). Those readers that enjoy Terry Pratchett or Christopher Moore will enjoy this book!
