The United Nations Department for the Enforcement and Apprehension of Demons is the first, last and only line of defence against the supernatural threats trying to break into a world where magic and technology are uneasy bedfellows.
When Agent Ward takes on the case of a break-in at a greetings card factory he could not have imagined that it will pit him against a unique threat in a unique location requiring the strangest use he has ever made of a helicopter.
How else, though, do you deal with the green-slimed monster called Love?

About the author
Darren Humphries
48 books65 followersI am English and recently bade a fond farewell to my forties. I have been writing stories since school when I won a parker pen for being shortlisted in a national schools writing competition.
My particular genre of choice wanders around all over the place, but has mainly settled into humorous fantasy and science fiction (or at least I think they're humorous and some people who have kindly left reviews seem to agree).
During any spare time (of which there isn't much since I'm recently widowed and dealing with two children) I edit a website focussed on science fiction television at www.scififreaksite.com and a similar blog on the side.
I then try to cram in a few books on my kindle to read.

Agent Ward and the delicious Veronika are planning a Valentine’s night celebration when he is called to attend a case. A greetings card factory has been attacked, or rather, just about annihilated. Paper hearts and roses are scattered like confetti at an enthusiastic wedding. Green gelatinous goo is left at the site. What’s going on? You’ll have to read it and find out…..
Darren Humphries has hit upon a winning streak with this character and his writing has mellowed and grown more assured over the time I have been reading his work. I suspect Agent Ward’s humour, sarcasm, heavy irony and plain sense of fun are Darren’s own. When added to the imaginative scrapes in which our agent finds himself, it makes for a winning combination. Agent Ward fans, get your next fix here!

What did Oxford do to deserve this?
Once again, Agent Ward comes to the rescue. As usual, it seems, he makes the cure appear worse than the disease.
In his search to avoid the destruction of Oxford, our hero is dragged from the sophisticated city of Preston, birthplace of The Insects. Please note that no Dreaming Spires were damaged in the making of this tale.
The author has created a very funny short story. In places it was genuinely laugh out loud funny. If you want a good, funny short story, then this will fit the bill. Don’t worry about not having read any of the other U.N.D.E.A.D books. I haven’t read any of them but still enjoyed this piece.

A laugh out loud short story featuring further adventures of Agent Ward, this time set in Oxford. Delightful and a perfect compliment to the full length UNDEAD novels.
