A hilariously demonic romp through Hell and Back.

The Actionary Saves the Day!

When mild-mannered Chesney Arnstruther accidentally summons a demon and causes Hell to go on strike, he doesn't expect to wind up as what he had always dreamed of being- the Actionary, a costumed crimefighter with a weasel-headed fiend for a sidekick.

But that's just the beginning of a journey that will see the ""high-functioning"" autistic actuary enmeshed in the schemes of a greedy televangelist, romancing a pepper-spray-wielding manicurist, and sitting down to a poker game with the Devil where the stakes include his immortal soul.

Reviews for Damned Busters (#1 Hell and Back)

- Praise for Matthew Hughes If you're an admirer of the science fantasies of Jack Vance, it's hard not to feel affection for the Archonate stories of Matthew Hughes... Hughes has strengths of his own to draw upon: his own considerable wit, and a flair for reified metaphysics surpassing anything conceived by Vance. - Nick Gevers, Locus A bit Arthur Conan Doyle, a bit Jack Vance.... Henghis's escapades [have] the lasting appeal of one of PG Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster books. - Seattle Times Hughes's successful blend of magic, the supernatural and high-tech with Sherlockian deductions (and cryptic observations straight out of Doyle's canon) suggests a long life for Hapthorn. - Publishers Weekly
