This is the second book in a series. A very interesting blend of old world fantasy and modern world events. First in the series was Running with the Demon, and I recommend reading it first.

Nest and John Ross return in the second installment of the series called "The Word and Void Trilogy." John Ross has forsaken his duties as a Knight of the Word and the Lady has assigned Nest to convince him to get his act back together.
While I found the story entertaining, I did not find it as gripping as the first book "Running with the Demon." Not to say I didn't like it, but we are talking apples and oranges here. Brooks slows down the pace considerably here and the characters do much more navel gazing. I did enjoy the chase scene between a demon and one of the characters . . . pretty intense.
If you liked "Running with the Demon" you'll like "A Knight of the Word" but just expect something different. Sometimes change is good.

Very good book...a bit predictable in parts, but worth the read.
