I think there's 3 more planned volumes. It's urban fantasy with a military bent.

He also has a trilogy called The Grimnoir Chronicles which was really good. Also urban fantasy, but set in the early 20th century (after WW1). Sort of a mix of hard boiled detective and military sci fi.

Similar series to that set during and after WW2 is Ian Iregillis' Milkweed Triptych, which I may have mentioned already. It's sort of like a german version of the X-men versus british wizards, with a sort of lovecraftian twist.

I think I'd recommend any or all of those after the Dresden Files.

Right now I'm working through Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. Really, really good. Like can't put it down good.
Thanks!
