"Joe Fury and the Hard Death" - by Paul Anthony Long
In November 2008, Paul Anthony Long was challenged to write a novel in a month. This hard-boiled fantasy was the result. Described by Pat Mills (former editor 2000 AD) as flowing "like the very best graphic novels" - it's a fast moving hilarious read

"Joe Fury and the Hard Death" - by Paul Anthony Long One star review on Warpcore keeps appearing top of google searches. If anyone wants to say something nice - there's a comments bit at the end of the review, although not sure how often it's updated http://www.warpcoresf.co.uk/joe-fury-and-the-hard-death.php


(I like the "ultra-violent orgy of silliness" bit - didn't know... that was a bad thing :-), Hazel)

Paul. I am afraid I've got a whole band day planned on the same day - really sorry. I have, however, just ordered your book for the full new price from Amazon to show my support. I am sorry I can't make the signing and I hope you might still sign my copy when we eventually catch up!
