As everyone knows, when great warriors die their reward is eternal life in Odin's great hall - otherwise known as Valhalla. But Valhalla has changed. It's grown. It's diversified. Just like any corporation, the Valhalla Group has had to adapt to survive. Unfortunately, nothing could have prepared it for the arrival of Carol Kortright, one-time cocktail waitress, currently dead, and not at all happy. Sparkling comic fantasy from one of Britain's sharpest, funniest writers. More information on this book and others can be found on the Orbit website at www.orbitbooks.co.uk… (more)

I am a fan of Tom Holt so this volume was a big disappointment. Most of Tom Holt's books have received five stars from me. Measured against all books this one rates three stars, but rated against Mr. Holt's other works it only rates two stars. (

Abrupt ending ends abruptly. (

Not among his better works. I just couldn't get interested in the characters and didn't quite figure out the point of the whole thing. Disappointing. (

Tom Holt writes some brilliant, very funny books!
This is no exception.
His stories are always set in the present day.
His characters are more than believable!
Another author that I re read very often! (

First I thought it doesn't make any sense to me. But now I know it just doesn't make any sense. Which is kind of cool!
