The Man with the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green


I don't recall that I've ever read a book that even came close to the number fight sequences in this book. How, Simon R. Green managed to write a solid story with likable characters amidst the mayhem is a surprise to me.
Edwin Drood a loyal but rebellious member of the Drood family as always thought of himself as fighting the good fight. After receiving a mission from the head of the Drood family, Edwin expected danger. What he didn't expect was to be called a rogue agent and to be hunted by his own family.
Edwin teams up with one of his most hated enemy to find out the truth and to clear his name. But on the path toward the truth, he quickly finds a new danger in the world whose primary goal is to destroy the Drood family.
Man with the Golden Torc is book one in a series. Simon R. Green provided laughs, lots of actions and a family secret that changes everything for Edwin Drood.
