About this listen

Judi Rifkin is one of the world’s most successful collectors of the weird and unnatural. In a London underworld filled with criminals with very special talents, Judi is a force to be reckoned with.

And Gideon Sable—thief, rogue, and chancer—owes her a very large favor.

Judi makes him an offer he can’t refuse: steal her the legendary Masque of Ra, kept safe in a Las Vegas casino, and she’ll wipe the slate clean.

This isn’t Gideon’s first heist by a long shot. But with old grudges threatening to cloud his judgment, an unpredictable crew who don’t entirely trust each other, and a formidable supernatural security team guarding his target, this job might be a gamble too far….

Good story, a "Simon R. Green" one. Nice follow up to part one. Hope there will be more of Gideon Sable coming.

Methadone for addicts of comic books, Gaiman, Aaronovitch, Kadrey etc. This series hits a lot of the key notes (very fun characters, interesting powers, mythological references etc) but falls short on deeper resonances and on making the real-world aspects feel credible - business meetings that feel like lazy sketches without bothering to consider if they're really plausible, for example. I feel an editor should have been stricter here. It leaves the whole thing feeling fun but disposable. It also doesn't quite hit the mark as proper pulp as it's a bit too cautious (that's where it doesn't match up to Kadrey: it's got something of a Disney Sandman Slim vibe). It's saved by a superb performance. It'd make a great TV show, like a supernatural Ocean's Eleven, if someone could tighten up the nuts and bolts. Overall: it's OK, and I'm gonna keep going... but mainly because there are new releases I'm waiting for.

A lot of fun, but could have used stronger editor
