Hunter's Moon - Gollancz S.F.
Author: David Devereux
Andy McNab meets Buffy the Vampire the Slayer in this razor sharp fast moving supernatural thriller from an exciting new author. "My name is unimportant, but you can call me Jack. I'm a musician by choice, a magician by profession, and a bastard by disposition. I'd been doing the magic thing for about five years when they found ...  more »I didn't really want to contemplate what might happen if I said no." And so Jack found himself on the front line of a secret war that most people simply wouldn't believe was possible. Working for a secret organization tasked with defending our country from whatever supernatural threat faces it. MI5 know nothing about and would laugh if they found out. Well at first they would. Whether wiping out a group of demon summoners, infiltrating a coven determined to assassinate the PM, or rooting out a neo-nazi sect who are trying to bring back Hitler from the dead Jack is a very modern sort of magician?trained in a variety of the dark arts but also a dab hand with a Heckler and Koch, skilled in unarmed combat and electronic surveillance. David Devereux has combined the action writing of McNab and Ryan with dark supernatural thrills and produced a blistering new breed of supernatural thriller. This is Dennis Wheatley for the 21st century.

When I got this book I was super psyched about it. The author sounded interesting. The opening lines were killers in my opinion.

I thought I wouldn't be able to put it down. I was all about staying up late and reading it all night.

I debated about writing this review because it involves a word I don't usually use. Misogyny. I really think this book is misogynistic. I got about halfway through and just put it down.

I can't point to an exact event or an exact turn of phrase. But here's the plot that didn't get pointed out in my opinion.

This is a book about a bunch of wiccan/pagan neo-terrorists. All women who worship the goddess and want to overthrow the English government. But see, the women are just being used by the men who are *really* wanting to overthrow the government. No way could a woman actually orchestrate that right? And the main character, Jack. He has a female partner but she's green and dumb enough to go native with the clearly stupid incompetent wanna be terrorist man hating women.

I am not particularly sensitive about those things. But this book just left a bad taste in my mouth.
