Jan 31, Ukgardenfiend rated it it was amazing. This is going to be 3 book reviews in one as I liked the first book: This series is about U. It's HQ is in Oxford.

We also have cryptology, teleportation and a good mix of fantastical elements. Overall very good fun to read with lots of plot twists and turns - which I like! Zombie Apocalypse Now Zombies are all over this book as evident by the title. This UK author chose Hull for the big Zombie attack.. Basically, I love the sense of absurdity and gentle twisting of reality to make a humorous statement about life and expectations.
Once again Darren Humphries has not let his fans down (in my opinion at least). U.N.D.E.A.D. 3 is just as action-packed, fun-filled and random as anyone could. Isn't in this book. The third volume in the Man from U.N.D.E.A.D series, and I felt Darren Humphries had hit his stride, after a (only very slight) dip for book 2. Here .
There is a dry sense of humour and comedy and comments. The UK author has written not only these books but also a number of sci-fi books and also a very personal one about losing his wife. He is a GoodReads author so you can find out more about him easily. I suspect that his politics lean more to the left due to the way the book ends. I have now also bought the 4th book in this series but am saving it up for later.
Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. 3 - Do Dragons Dream Of Burning Sheep?
Do Dinosaurs Dream of Burning Sheep? I have certainly visited the caves a couple of times but was really more interested in what they stood for - naughty revelries and a pretence of raising the devil - than for themselves. As far as I can recollect the caves were not very remarkable at all.
Now the idea a Wyrm is also interesting as we see echoes of Dune and the science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card but also Wyrm was an old name for a dragon. Anyway saving myself for book Jan 30, Emma rated it it was amazing. I absolutely loved this read. I was engrossed from the moment I started reading it and had to find a day where I could sit and just read so as to find out what happens!
I loved Ward's character and his humour. There was, for me, a lot of laugh out loud moments entwined with action and suspense, which kept me guessing as to who was behind all of the goings on! I am looking forward to the next in the series and for reading more offerings from Darren Humphries. Apr 10, Louise rated it liked it.

Yeah, it was ok Looks the main character, who looks like he is going to leave a real of chaos in his wake in all the sequels Will read more, but not rushing to buy. Apr 12, Peter Bissell rated it it was amazing. Paced , believable, eminently enjoyable read entertained. A little predictable but it was that which matched the uncovering tale, well structured whilst maintaining a semi light hearted approach to a series growing on me like a 20 limbed arthropod.
Oct 11, Terry rated it it was ok. A light and fun read as expected, but didn't really make me want to read more Agent Ward adventures. Jul 15, Michael rated it really liked it. Definitely not the last book in this series that I am going to read. Jun 30, Andrew Lawston rated it it was amazing. This is the first book I've read by Darren Humphries, and I was very impressed. Magic is real, and a UN Agency because no one wants to say they work for a Department protects humanity from terrifying squid Gods from parallel dimensions.
Agent Ward is the protagonist, a competent agent with an aversion to teleportation and Egypt. Investigating the eponymous Kidnapped Chemist with the chemi This is the first book I've read by Darren Humphries, and I was very impressed. Investigating the eponymous Kidnapped Chemist with the chemist's beautiful sister Miranda Harcourt, both teleports and Egyptian myth start to loom in the proceedings.
Humphries manages the balance between action and comedy well, and takes Ward and Harcourt on a giddy trip around this alternate UK with confidence. If there was a single criticism to make, it would be that the magical elements of it all disappear for most of the middle section of the book in favour of action and the supernatural. This is a bit of a shame, as the dialogue about science and magic being different ways of looking at the same world is very effective - it would have been nice to see more of it.
Sep 13, Tim rated it it was amazing. This is my fourth foray into the realm of Urban fantasy of late, and I have to say I'm rather enjoying it.

Set predominantly in and around the English Home Counties in a not-too-distant alternate future It makes a nice change to read genre fiction set in my local area rather than some far flung place! He's been assigned to find a missing scientist, and there's a good collection of demons, monsters, magical creatures and bad guys intent on stopping him. Humphries has woven a world in which airships sit next to helicopter gunships but obviously not too close , and ultrafast railways compete with teleport systems.
His characters are vivid and well drawn, and his writing style has a hint of Douglas Adams about it.
An absolutely cracking read, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Dec 03, Kath Middleton rated it it was amazing. This is an action packed adventure in a world which is shot through with magic, alien creatures and mythological beings from which we are protected by an agency - U. The story is narrated by Ward, a likeable and self-deprecating agent and the plot is full of twists and turns.
It's an exciting and fast moving story and full of humour.

It's not the belly laugh, slapstick type but is clever and subtle, using word-play and wonderful, memorable phrases, the sort of humour I much prefer.

I am relatively new to Darren Humphries' work and he grows on me with each book. I was delighted to find, at the end of this, that there's a sequel. I now understand there is a whole series planned - Bring it on! Feb 25, Lorraine Versini rated it really liked it. And that's only the ones I can think of, me not really being a sci-fi fan, no doubt Agent Ward is even more complex than that!
And the whole book is following the same mixed pattern. A bit of supernatural here, a bit of weirdness there, some sci-fi stuff in the middle, and a good dose of action, even though the general feel is that the story is related in a very laid-back kind of way giving you the impression that it's all in a normal day's work! Couldn't wait to read the next one in the series, so I tagged it right behind!
Dec 30, Kath rated it it was amazing. Again I have to start a review with the spiel that I don't usually read this genre but the Kindle allowing me to read outside my usual comfort zone has, once again, opened up my eyes to a whole new world And what a world - this book is a "funtastic" romp through time and fantasy, mixing ancient and modern with futuristic, all acted out by a wonderful cast of characters - all with their own quirks - some more than others, but all rather special in their own ways! Oh and all this is punctuated wi Again I have to start a review with the spiel that I don't usually read this genre but the Kindle allowing me to read outside my usual comfort zone has, once again, opened up my eyes to a whole new world Oh and all this is punctuated with some wonderful descriptive phrases and some extremely funny one-liners.
Mr Humphries is well and truly cemented onto my "watch list":
