The book version of the thrilling and innovative second Skulduggery Pleasant podcast
In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing.
Now, the people who are trying to find out exactly what happened all those years ago are being murdered - there is a killer coming after them, a killer with a plan - and their only hope for survival lies with Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain.
Because when the end of the world comes knocking, our first line of defence must always be sarcasm.
Unstoppable, withering sarcasm.
Derek Landy is far too modest to talk about any awards or accolades his books may have won. He will not, for instance, mention the fact that his first book, Skulduggery Pleasant , won the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book of the Decade Award AND the Red House Children's Book Award, or that his second, Playing With Fire , won an Irish Book Award for Children's Book of the Year, or that his third, The Faceless Ones , is his mother's personal favourite. He could go on, all the way to The End of the World , which is the title of the story he wrote for World Book Day 2012, but he won’t.
He lives in Ireland with a variety of cats, a German Shepherd, and two geriatric Staffordshire Bull Terriers who keep peeing on his kitchen floor because they think it's funny.
