Dante Valentine

Dante Valentine series.[6] One reviewer describes the series as depicting "a world controlled by magic rather than psychic powers."[7] Set 600 years in the future, Working for the Devil, was described by one reviewer as a book that "mixes cyberpunk and schlock science, involving a missing map of the devil's DNA, with endless set-piece fights, all-round mayhem and vivid sex, and does it well enough to be forgiven."[8]
