This is the Death Works page – obviously.
The Death Works Trilogy (as it now stands, though I am writing a fourth book, just slowly, slowly) can be found in this neat omnibus edition.
Within which you’ll find the novels Death Most Definite, Managing Death, and the Business of Death.
They’re about Death, well, working for Death. Death is a business, and it can get pretty rough. It’s set in Brisbane, Australia. There are explosions, the Underworld, and a vast cosmic threat that is a little bit Lovecrafty.
Someone once described the stories to me as the literary version of crack – I reckon that sums the books up nicely.
You can buy the omnibus at Avid Reader (the bookstore where I work).
Or Amazon (Online Bookselling Place)
Or iBooks
Or wherever you would like (Pulp Fiction also comes to mind in the city of Brisbane).
Just picked up “Death Most Definite” today and I’m really enjoying it so far. Looking forward to the rest!
Hi Trent,
Just read your first two novels thought they where great I loved that fact that it was a very original ideal. Very to read the conclusion of the series, I understand it is comming out in 2011 any idea on the month?
Keep up the great work Ben.
Thanks, Ben!
Bk 3 is coming out in 2011. In Australia it’ll be April, and in the US and UK Sep.
Was at the University of Washington bookstore a couple days ago and noticed Managing Death sitting on a pile so I went to the shelf and found Death Most Definite and couldn’t put it down.
Going back for the second ASAP! I look forward to an adventure in your imagination again ^_^
So glad you liked it. I’m working on a fourth book now, and having a ball.

Hello Michael,
thank you. I’m still chipping away at the next book – but so, so slowly! – when it’s finished I’ll shout out very loudly, believe me! Who knows, I might get over to England some day.

Congrats on the Death Works books. I am a huge bookworm when it comes to fantasy books. i must admit that up until now all of my books have been by female authors but after reading a blurp out of Death Most Definate I was hooked. I’ve read all three now and I am now waiting eagerly for the next one.
Well done.Awesome books.
Thanks, Nessa. So glad you liked them. And thanks for letting me know!
I have just finished the Death Works Trilogy…….the only word I can use to describe it is superb !…..I haven’t read anything near as good as this since Stephen King’s The Stand. Your innate sense of humor shines through your written word. I am glad I got to read the entire saga at one time. Stay true to your vision, you have baited us with Lissa, Tim, Steve, and Mr D……I know there is more…bring it on or “Run”….
Thanks, Karl. One way or another there will be more of this story. I’m so glad you liked it.
Trent.
I am absolutly with Karl on this. The ending of book 3 screams fo more and I am one of those guys who hates bad endings for protagonists. You can do all you want to them but if you kill of some important characters (and never the main one or only temporarily) you gotta replace them with great ones. Suppose you let the love interest be killed after 2+ books of character developement and dont replace him/her with someone as interesting as the dead one? I shudder…
Please do not have another apocalypse coming. After something like this I personally like a filler book (They are not always bad) where the protagonist can muscle around being full of himself and beat up some mooks who dont have a chance but arent even aware of it.
Dave,
I think you’ll like what’s coming. Which I’ll let everyone know about when it finds a home, or I decide to publish it here as an xmas present for my long suffering Death Works fans. Trust me, I have a new chunk of story already written, and some stuff that I think people are really going to enjoy.
