Here’s a trailer for all three books Connolly wrote. Perhaps, along with the prequel, it will also generate some interest in the series.

This was my fave series of any type for a long time. I genuinely have tears in my eyes because I heard it got cancelled. We have the three books at least, and I’m envious of those who haven’t read them yet; such pleasure to come. On the other hand, how can crap like the Dresden files prosper and quality urban fantasy pulp like this go down? The Universe is not fair.

Thats sad. I hope the prequel — which I just bought — generates enough interest for him to keep writing the series e-Only if nothing else.

Good to hear, and I certainly wouldn’t discourage anyone from reading them in any case; as I say, I quite enjoyed them and will continue to recommend them.

Thankfully Connolly leaves things at a very palatable place with the third and final book. It’s a good stopping point and his self-published fourth Ray Lilly book (which is actually a prequel) does a good job fleshing things out and providing a little more insight.

The fact that there’s not going to be any more in the near future shouldn’t turn anyone off from reading them.

...and hell's bells, apparently I missed the part where the series was canceled due to low sales. Disappointing; I'm hoping press like this can move more copies (whether ebook or paper) and either get the publisher to reconsider or another one to pick it up.

I first heard of these when Connolly guest-blogged for Charlie Stross about a year ago. I’ve devoured the first two but haven’t picked up the third yet. At any rate, seconding the recommendation.
