Product Description

Six years have passed and Danny has unexpectedly returned, like a revenant revisiting the scene of the crime, a ghost haunting his own grave.
Outwardly, he is the same beautiful creature he always was, except for the scar that runs down his cheek like the murderer's tears perpetually frozen on his face, the scar that makes him look like a war-scarred animal, the scar that may reveal, for the first time, the true scavenger under his skin.
It takes him no time to rope in all his old conquests, all once again not only willing to be his prey but positively itching to be consumed.
But there are new victims waiting in the wings: the tasty little twins that Rab has employed, the 'new boy', Donald Sutherland, a foxy disciple of that dangerous unknown, Harry Greaves - perhaps the only one among them who mistrusts Danny's return, and his motives.
Soon it becomes apparent that Harry is right, and there is more to Danny's reappearance than meets the eye, and for the first time his formerly unquestioning acolytes begin to seriously doubt whether they can ever truly hope make a pet of Danny... before he makes a meal of them.

From the Publisher
Imagine one day a beautiful, sleek dog wandered into your life. Imagine he looked at you with intelligent dark eyes, saying silently, "I'll be your dog. Come, invite me into your home."
And imagine, like a vampire, a werewolf, you let him take that fateful step across your threshold.
Imagine then he was a magical creature able to transform himself on a breath - by day a beautiful man, by night a ravening animal feeding on human flesh.
You know he is dangerous, depraved, corrupt - even evil - but what a magnificent creature. And how you have come to love him.
Imagine then that is what you hold in your hand: The True Story of Daniel Jackson Moore.
He'll be your dog.

From the Back Cover
They say that the werewolf has the power to present himself in a pleasing and seductive form. They say he has the eyes of an angel and the soul of a jackal. They say he appears to men in the form which they desire most: hunter, lapdog, rutting beast. They say his breath is redolent with the stench of salt and blood, and his eyes have the power to mesmerise. They say his ancient form, scrawled on cave walls, shows a sleek-haired beast with a long white human penis poking out its filthy fur. They say that if you are not careful he will rip out your throat in the blinking of an eye....

Customer Reviews

My favorite 'DANNY' so far...
If you are purchasing this book, and you have not read Volume 1, please do so now. I loved this one even better than the first! The saga of the Jackson-Moore family continues in the second book to the Quadrilogy, which provides even more insight into this wonderful, twisted family. DANNY fans will not be dissappointed, and if you are reading this recommendation, than you must be curious-and I say go for it! DANNY is hardcore (not your usual library material), but once you enter into the bizzare Jackson-Moore family, you won't turn back...

The New Testament
The second installment to the greatest story ever told, DANNY 2, The Revenant, has arrived. The finest written characters in literature are back, and they're as good as they ever have been.

As the characters (and readers) are still reeling from the events in book 1, each character has continued in their own private lives - some more surprisingly than others. However, much as they may think they have grown, when they come back together the spell is cast again.

Book 2 can be seen from two very different angles, hence the two covers, and both are completely accurate at the same time. Danny's return is like a fox rampaging through a house full of chickens. Danny finds his admirers again, along with some new ones, lures them in and enslaves them but, as always, he's setting them up for the kill. Even though they know they're playing with a huge ball of fire, they just can't resist Danny's own special brand of magic. It's the readers' job to work out what's actually going on - as it always is. We get the chance to play pyschological detective again.

However, at the same time, in book 2, Danny is walking the world with his guts hanging out while the vultures circle him, waiting to swoop when he falls. This may not sound appealing, but imagine the sexiest walking dead, with the most attractive vultures around, and the devouring is indeed a metaphor for what they'll do when they get their hands on him.

As in DANNY 1, we see personal strength of psychotic proportions, personal survival above all else, and the reader delves ever deeper into the characters' past, unveiling some new mysteries, appearing to conclude others and concreting some assumptions made in book 1.

When talking about the DANNY series, you can't help but be visceral - the book is too raw and honest to receive any less a reaction. The same terms come to mind: see, taste, smell, feel. No-one just reads DANNY, you live it, and book 2 is no different. When you open the book, you enter their world, your surroundings fade away. It's the ultimate in escapism. Engrossing isn't the word for it - there are no words for it. After reading the first book, the DANNY world is a necessity, so get yourself a ticket to the return of the greatest show in town. As for the big twist (actually the author described it best - the big shiny present), you'd better glue your socks on.
