It's just as well I don't judge a book by its cover, as reading the back of ''The Demon Code'' was not a good start. For one thing, it's a conspiracy thriller with a title that evokes comparisons with an over-rated bestseller from a few years ago. Then there is the fact that Alex Blake is a pseudonym for another author and, as Stephen King once said of writing as Richard Bachman: ''If it was any good, the guy would have put his real name on it. If he lied about his name, the book must suck...''

Internet rumour has it that Adam Blake is really [[:Category:Mike Carey|Mike Carey]] and his books, such as [[Thicker Than Water (Felix Castor) by Mike Carey|Thicker than Water]] are well worth a look too.
