Heaven's Dark Soldiers

RISE OF THE GIANTS

Angels, and giants, and beasties. Oh, my!

In life, Dean Robinson was a soldier. Upon his untimely death at the hands of a fallen angel with a serious superiority complex and snappy wardrobe, he became something else.

With heart-pounding action, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and a mind-bending mash-up of mythology and apocryphal lore, Rise of the Giants is a thrilling urban fantasy romp through a world where legends come to life, and the stakes couldn't be higher. From the backstreets of Boston to the nether regions of Heaven and beyond, join the wise-cracking misadventures filled with magic, destiny, and a whole lot of beer.

And, as always, the Devil's in the details.
