Tom Holt is one of those authors whose work must really annoy bookshop owners, in that it doesn't really fit into any established category. In practise, his books can usually be found in the 'comic fantasy' section, however this tends to set people in a Terry Pratchett frame of mind, and Holt's books are definitely nothing like Pratchett's.

Holt's books tend to combine our modern world with figures from myth and legend- including the Flying Dutchman, Saint George and Faust.
