All those things you heard about as a kid? The boogeyman under the bed? The creature in the closet? The ghost in the . . . er . . . garage? They're for real, people. Believe me, I know. I'm Eddie Drood. And if it weren't for me and my family, all the things that go bump in the night would be mucking the world up, big-time.
You can call him Bond. Shaman Bond. Or at least that's what he goes by when he's on the job, working for "the family" as a secret agent who quietly dispatches those too familiar bumps in the night. And he's good at it too, or at least he thought he was until the family sent an entire army of dark elves, aliens, and witches to kill him. Now Eddie's running for his life, from the most elite agents in the world, looking for the answer to questions such as "Why does my family want me dead?", "What secrets are the droods hiding from the world?", and "When did Molly the evil witch get so dang hot?!" Together with a few new friends, Eddie will go deep into the world of the evil creatures he's hunted his entire life in order to expose the dark truth about the family he's always held so dear.
Filled with plenty of fun parody, action, magic, and even a little romance, Eddie's adventures as the world's most top secret agent won't disappoint! It may not be my new favorite book, but when you're in the mood for a little Bond action with a sci-fi twist then give this series a try!
