Damnation




Shambolic demon-hunting hitman Don Drake is teetering on the edge of madness in this smart, witty novel that is “urban fantasy at its best” (San Francisco Book Review)

Don Drake is living rough in a sink estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh, doing cheap spells for even cheaper customers while fending off the local lowlifes. Six months ago, Don fled from London to Glasgow to track down his old girlfriend Debbie the alchemist.

With the Burned Man gradually driving him mad, Don meets with an ancient and mysterious tramp-slash-magician, with disastrous consequences. Now his old accomplices must step into save Don from himself, before he damns himself for good this time.

Praise for Damnation

PRAISE FOR THE BURNED MAN SERIES

"Snarky, pacy and hellishly fun. Don Drake is just the sort of hero, with just the sort of life, to make you feel good about yourself."
- Francis Knight, author of the Rojan Dizon series

"Chock full of sweary gangsters, snark and deadpan humour, thrills and spills and genuinely terrifying moments, this is smart and fun storytelling, a novel for the devil in us all... Dominion is mad, bad and glorious to read."
- Edward Cox, author of the Relic Guild series

"Fans of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim will dig this series."
- The B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Dominion is one of those books that I just didn't want to end but couldn't stop turning the pages. Another fantastic Burned Man novel by Pete McLean."
- Sue Tingey, author of Marked and Cursed

"Who wouldn't want to read a book narrated by a foul-mouthed demon-botherer called Don? From dark streets to sticky sewers, Dominion is a belting urban fantasy that takes you on a breakneck tour of London's under-underworld, with plenty of evil laughs (and F-bombs) along the way."
- Matt Hill, author of Graft
