Matthew Hughes is best known for channeling Jack Vance and producing quality SF novels like Majestrum and The Spiral Labyrinth. With The Damned Busters, Hughes channels Thorne Smith (of Topper fame). Chesney Anstruther accidentally summons a demon and all Hell breaks loose…literally. The demons in Hell go on strike. Chesney finds himself caught up in various shenanigans including being a superhero with some unique powers. If you’re looking for something light and frothy to read, The Damned Busters would make a perfect novel for the beach. GRADE: B
Sounds a little like John Connolly’s THE GATES. (And that reminds me I need to read the sequel to that one.)
I’ll have to give it a try.
It’s here waiting to be read. I’m slightly discouraged by your B grade, a B+ would have made me happier. Oh well.
Like Rick, this one is here waiting for me to step up and read it. I like Hughes so it should be soon.
