He is to journey to the home of an earlier secret agent - The Independent Agent, who claims to have secrets about a traitor who is harming the Drood interests. After Bond painlessly dispatches some of the co-conspirators, he returns to the family home for a super secret mission. The novel start off with Drood assuming his namesake Shaman Bond in a plot to kill some ravens in the Tower of London, where we meet some of the odd villains and get a taste of the world. Eddie Drood, the grandson of the Matriarch of the clan Drood is one of the secret agents that risks his life to keep the world safe. Green has populated their world with all sorts of foul murderers, magical creatures, elfs, aliens, witches and spies. The Droods are a family of super secret agents who combat evil with the armor that encases them from a torc around their necks. Simon Green who penned the space opera Deathstalker series has turned his eye to urban fantasy and has a winner, I think, in the tales of his secret agent Shaman Bond a/k/a Eddie Drood.
