London Has Fallen - Wikipedia View all 30 comments. This series was recommended to me and I was told that the first book takes a while to get into but otherwise it's great. I actually loved it from the start. Loved it This series was recommended to me and I was told that the first book takes a while to get into but otherwise it's great. Loved it While investigating a mobster's mysterious death, they come into contact with a strange artifact and accidentally develop the Sight. Suddenly they can see the true evil haunting London's streets. Armed with police instincts and procedures, the four officers take on the otherworldly creatures secretly prowling London. Football lore and the tragic history of a Tudor queen become entwined in their pursuit of an age-old witch with a penchant for child sacrifice. This is a book that is not like any other. He goes above and beyond the call of duty to solve the crime and "nick" the villain at any cost, even if it means losing his life. Costain: The lead undercover cop above Sefton , with a dirty past and seedy present that he desperately tries to keep hidden, works to make up for the sins of his past and make right what he is doing wrong. He has a quick temper, but is utterly loyal to the group, even though he loathes Sefton for reasons only known to him. Quill: The Detective in charge of the undercover cops. He means business and is uncomfortable around things that don't make sense. Quill says to close cases very quickly because he always feels his neck on the line from top brass. Then he changes. Ross: The enigma. She has the biggest secret among them all. An analyst for the police force, she researches databases and does searches for them looking for suspects and witnesses. Ross is a computer wiz, not so much a police officer. She gets called into the field when the search for the villain is underway. She proves to be the most active character of them all. The Witch: A terrible and haunting crone. She has a taste for death and power and sacrifices children in the name of power. The witch has no qualms about hurting others who are in her way. She wields enormous magical powers which are used against the group time and again. The tale was strung together with perfect adjectives and words that played together in a way that created visuals that wouldn't leave the mind at rest. The descriptions are plenty, however not so much that it takes from the actual story itself. The views of London and the characters were full of flavor and color, and terrifying ghostly images when confronted by those who had the ability to see them. PLOT: The book starts off as a police procedural with undercover cops investigating a crime boss and his soldiers acquiring and distributing drugs and weapons. The detective, Quill, Is anxious to close the case and makes specific threats to Costain to make sure that he gets the information that will settle the case and render a certain arrest possible. Events happen, which are strange and frightening also confusing and the plot begins to move into a supernatural way. The investigation into the world of the witch and the power in which she feeds is then started. They follow many leads, often coming up with nothing. There are red herrings and it becomes evident that this is not going to be a predictable story. The subplots, particularly, Ross's background, is something of a surprise. This leads to the discovery of what will happen towards the end. The Plot is thick with suspense and thrilling adventure, Though this story, in particular, is filled with some disturbing scenes, it is a very good story. There is no predictability factor. There was no hesitation, no stopping, no drypoints. Though there were some points where the dialogue was necessary to describe certain things and propel the storyline in one direction or the other. However, some are necessary as openers for the next book in the series. This one, however, simply dropped the story off a cliff. It wasn't so much a cliffhanger as much as a cliff drop. I had no idea what was going on. I was a little disappointed. I, of course, borrowed the next book in order to see what would happen next. View 2 comments. And I can see some basic similarities. Cornell shows us a much darker, grittier, and more threatening magical system. I also felt like the whole book was set-up, which may pay off in the second book. Up until that point, I could have walked away without finishing the book and had no regrets. However, those last few pages have convinced me that I need to know where things go from here. As I approach the end of several other beloved series, I am experiencing anticipatory mourning, so it is good to have another good series queued up and ready to roll. The Shadow Police will definitely help me with the loss of my favourites. Aug 27, K. I'm actively angry about the beginning of this book. It's slow, hard going, too many characters insufficiently distinguished, unclear action. I've been churning through it for a month or more, put it down repeatedly. I mean, it takes off like a firework. Suddenly we have characters , we have coherent action, we have thrilling magic an I'm actively angry about the beginning of this book. Suddenly we have characters , we have coherent action, we have thrilling magic and intense horror and plot lurches and a really good driving concept. But the first quarter is turgid. Poorly served. This is a brilliant dark gritty urban fantasy. View all 5 comments. Urban Fantasy is one of those murky sub-genres that can mean different things to different people. If I was to tell you that this was a story set in London in which several police officers investigate a supernatural serial killer I would be describing the book, but I really wouldn't be telling you what you're going to get. This is a serial killer who happens to be supernatural. And as suc Urban Fantasy is one of those murky sub-genres that can mean different things to different people. And as such she acts like a serial killer. She's just plain vicious. Our motley collection of heroes are completely out of their depths too. They don't know what they're facing. They don't know what it means. They don't know what they can do about it. And they don't have any noticeable supernatural powers. All they've got is police procedure and some imaginative thinking. The only jokes you're going to hear in this book are the sort of dark humor that people use when they think they're going to die. And that makes it a refreshing change of pace from many of the other entries into what is a very crowded market these days. I initially found it a little difficult to get into the book. It's quite some time before the supernatural elements come into play and the characters don't really like each other very much at least at first. But in this case persistence pays off and you see the story really form around you and the characters The book is a complete story in it's own right, but Cornell is setting up something bigger here.
