THE HALFLIFE CHRONICLES ARE BACK! Half-vampire Christopher Cséjthe must once again face down the forces of darkness in the return of Wm. Mark Simmon's Halflife Chronicles. WAKE THE UNDEAD Years back, a blood transfusion from a member of the undead left Christopher Cséjthe a half- vampire. As founder of After Dark Investigations, he's gone mano y monster with zombies, werewolves, master vampires, and creatures from the Cthulhu Lagoon--not to mention an immortal Nazi, an ancient Babylonian demon, and a six thousand-year-old necromancer. He's also saved New Orleans from total destruction once or twice. A while ago, an enemy ran Chris over with a semitruck while he tried to get a tow. It's the third time Chris has died. Now waking up in a world he doesn't quite recognize--the present--he'll have to use his wits to once again keep the supernatural world at bay. Plus, Chris finds that INTERPOL is interested in some of his associations with Vlad Drakul's grandson--better known as Dracula--and a trio of witches from a Greek myth want him dead. For good this time. Worst of all, the IRS is looking into his tax returns--and not at all liking what they find. Now that's really terrifying.  About A Witch in Time: ". . . a snappy, snarky, and surprisingly emotional grand finale that blends characters from weird fiction, gothic tales, and mythology into one fun, if crowded, universe. . . .Though the tone is light and comically cynical, Simmons doesn't downplay the gravity of the history in his tale, making this a tense and gripping story that is sure to please series fans."--Publishers Weekly About the Halflife Chronicles: "[O]ne of those rare novels that combine levity and the supernatural in just the right balance."--Chronicle on Habeas Corpses. Praise for Wm. Mark Simmons: "A high-tech heroic fantasy full of adventure, puns, and damn good reading. Well thought out."--Pulsar "Frequently fun..."--Publishers Weekly "A nonstop romp through a complex and captivating world! Highly recommended!"--K D Wentworth… (más)

The Greeks are coming. Or at least their ancient monsters are. Half-vampire++ Chris Cséjthe wakes up from being killed x3 and finds himself rushing across the country++ to save the multiverse from something. He's not sure what that something is, but the theme this round seems to be Greek, with a range of nasties from the ancient Greek mythos swarming after him (in addition to the vamps, weres, and snarky witches that usually make his life miserable). And let's not forget Interpol, the IRS, and even Archangel Mike stopping by for a chat.

The basic plot is nothing unusual: the monsters from the outer darkness (the Greeks and their minions) aim to dissolve the whole multiverse and the good guys (Chris and his posse – Mama Samm, Carmella Le Fanu and a few old favorites, with some additions, especially a young witch named Stryfe) aim to stop them, driving across the country while skipping across alternate universes every time Chris falls asleep.

This is my first Halflife Chronicle book, but there was no problem getting up to speed. The rather ordinary story is enlivened by Chris's deep erudition that runs far into ancient languages, culture, mythology, and classic rock.

If you like urban fantasy, this one is well written and entertaining, so much so that when I read on the cover that it is the finale of the series I felt a pang of disappointment. But there are enough loose ends in this story to give me hope that there is another book or two in our future.

I received a review copy of "A Witch In Time" by Wm. Mark Simmonds from Baen through SFRevu. This review and others can be read online in the May 2021 issue. ( )
