London Falling and The Severed Streets by Paul Cornell London Falling is the first in what I hope will be a long series. Excellent story. Great concept. I picked it up from the library because of the cover image (yeah, the cover designer hopefully gets a percentage of sales). It was a mystery, a paranormal, a group of individuals becoming a team. It kind of defied categorization. It held my interest through out the entire book. When it was done, I immediately requested the sequel "The Severed Streets" from the library. I was quite happy to find the sequel was equal if not slightly better than the first book. I think I like "The Severed Streets" slightly better because I was already familiar with the characters, cared about what happened to them and found the adversary much harder to predict. Great books have at least one line that makes you stop, come to a full stop, and consider what you just read. In this book it was, "To Londoners, bombs and riots were just an extreme form of weather." What an excellent image it gives me of the spirit of the people who live there. Read "London Falling" and then jump right into "The Severed Streets".
