The Best Thing You Can Steal

By: Simon R. Green

Narrated by: Gideon Emery

Welcome to London, but not as you know it. A place where magics and horror run free, wonders and miracles are everyday things, and the dark streets are full of very shadowy people....

Gideon Sable is a thief and a con man. He specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't normally be stolen. Like a ghost's clothes, or a photo from a country that never existed. He even stole his current identity. Who was he originally? Now, that would be telling. One thing's for sure though, he's not the bad guy. The people he steals from always have it coming.

Gideon's planning a heist, to steal the only thing that matters from the worst man in the world. To get past his security, he's going to need a crew who can do the impossible...but luckily, he has the right people in mind. The Damned, the Ghost, the Wild Card...and his ex-girlfriend, Annie Anybody. A woman who can be anyone, with the power to make technology fall in love with her. If things go well, they'll all get what they want. And if they're lucky, they might not even die trying.

Enjoyable but lighter

I love Simon R. Green, the Nightside series and Droods are some of my favorites so decided to give this a go. It's fun and entertaining but certainly lighter and more neatly wrapped up than previous works. Still coming back for more! The performance was excellent and the characters drew me in.

Decent Book

Not the best or most insightful book in the world. However, it was a fun read that did not take itself seriously. Good writing, fast pace. I recommend the book if you enjoy that type of thing.

Fun story!

As always, the narrator, Gideon Emery knocks it out of the park. It was a fun story, but not as good as the Nightside or Drood series. Wish it would have been a bit longer. It felt more like a novella than a novel.

Amazing performance and story!

Engaging characters, a surprise ending, and a spectacular narration by Gideon Emery who delivered a different voice for each person with flair and aplomb. This story is as good as any of the Nightside stories though I began it with worries it wouldn't be as enjoyable. I'm going to continue this series.

Very good read. Well worth it.

Another imaginative and entertaining story by Simon R. Green. Like his Tales of the Nightside series, this dark fantasy is unique and very well written.
