Professor Yaffle

"Paths Not Taken" by Simon R. Green

Yet another Nightside book (and there's another about to be published, he can't half churn them out). Having discovered who and what his mother is, to prevent her destroying the Nightside and bringing about the version of the future that he's seen, John (and Shotgun Suzie) must travel back in time, through various periods in the Nightside's history, right back to its creation. And being who they are, chaos and mayhem will, of course, happily ensue.

This is a great series, and it feels like the story-arc may be wrapped up in the next book - I hope he continues writing them after that. Although, being Simon Green, there's always the worrying possibility that he'll kill everyone off instead. I may have to read the next one through my fingers...
