Dan Deadman's afterlife just hit an all new low. When a suspect explodes mid-interrogation and his office is taken over by an intergalactic despot, undead detective, Dan Deadman, reckons he's finally hit rock bottom. Banished to a dangerous underground hostel network, Dan becomes embroiled in a mass-murder investigation that will take him from the bowels of Down Here to the depths of the ocean. As the clues run out and the case collapses around him, Dan discovers a sinister plot that could wipe out two whole civilizations, and plunge the planet of Parloo into an endless bloody war. Featuring terrifying sea monsters, killer toilets, and an anatomically correct children's cartoon mascot who'll haunt your nightmares forever, "Dead in the Water" is the third book in the Dan Deadman Space Detective series, and perfect for fans of Space Team, The Dresden Files, and tiny aggressive Irish fellas.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Barry Hutchison - just buy it. In fact buy ALL his books.

Barry Hutchison is absolutely, hands-down one of, if not THE finest authors in the sci-fi/comedy genre!

As most already know, Dan Deadman is part of the hilarious Space Team universe.
What Barry Hutchison does better than almost everyone else in the genre, is expertly blend comedy and serious action and in some cases horror.
I won't give away any spoilers, but the end had a surprise cameo/crossover.

That being said - this story was once again an excellent Dan Deadman tale, which introduced some new characters, a new villain, and yet another riveting storyline.

What else can I say? I love Barry's work - I bought him a coffee (read his emails), and look forward to each new novel with the same excitement I used to have on Christmas mornings as a kid. He's that good trust me.

Here's to Barry and his incredible cast of characters and brilliant, time-bending universe.

From great action sequences to fantastic wordplay to a lot of honest-to-goodness laugh-out-loud moments, Dead in the Water has become my new favorite book in the Deadman series! In this one, we get more Artur, more Ollie, and more in-depth world building with a villain who is elusive until the very end, all delivered in Hutchinson's witty style. You just can't get any better than that!

Another gem from the man who seems to have an endless supply of laughs and plots. Best in this series. Characters develop more and more. Truly a treat for comedy/sci-fi fans. Laughed out loud more than once. Do yourself a favor and read the Space Team and Deadman series! But read them in order of publication as they cross paths more than once.

Great work as always. Can you learn to live without the Space Team and its spin-offs? Learn about Parloo's underwater civ and wait for our deus-ex-machina to bring justice and revenge on the evil man and its dastardly plots. You cannot miss it because the end of the novel actually starts the last Space Team adventure. Go for it is my advice.

After a rather ordinary #2, this novel zings and zips with more life. The banter between the characters is wittier and there is more  twists and turns to the story. A much better book, and the ending hints at more to come

I fonking love this SHIZZ!!

Dead in the Water finished what I hope is a long run within the Space Team universe.

Dan, Ollie and Artur are some of the most fun characters that I've read in a while. At times I was laughing out loud at the imagery being described.

If you are a fan of the series I can't recommend it enough.

An amazing imagination with no shortage of guts and glory (more of the former). Cool cast of characters with distinct personalities. High hopes for Ollie and Finn. How the fonk does Deadman cope with assorted add-on parts as required? Artur gets on me fecking nerves but is an essential addition. Wit, humour, and non-stop action makes for an enjoyable read. Did I mention the many scenes that nearly mad me shizz myself?

Funny, lots of action and violence and a dead guy with a heart of gold...which isn’t easy when it’s been dead quite a while.
This is the third book in the series and slots in among the Space Team series.
Can’t wait for the audio version!

There isn't a lot i can write without going into details of the stories, and therefore giving away spoliers. Suffice it to say they are great fun, funny, and inventive stories, with quite a dark under current at times. If you enjoy humerous SciFi/Detective novels, with well developed characters and proper stories, you can't go wrong. And check out the related stuff, Space Team series by the same author!
