Rise of the Giants: An Urban Fantasy Adventure (Heaven's Dark Soldiers)

Angels and giants and beasties. Oh my… Monsters are real. Just ask Dean Robinson. After a decade as an elite soldier, he’d seen his fair share. But unlike the stuff of fairy tales and nightmares, monsters—real monsters—don’t have fangs or claws. Neither are they undead or go bump in the night. Well, that's what he thought at the time. That all changed, of course, when Dean was brutally murdered by a psychotic fallen angel and his pet giant. Right before his mortal life came to a screeching halt, he realized there was a whole new level of bad guy out there. Lucky for him, though, that whole death thing didn't take. No longer human but not quite an angel, Dean came back as—something else. Something equal parts blessed and cursed with an unfathomable power. A proper monster in his own right. Which was good as he apparently had to somehow stop an ancient race of semi-divine giants from munching out on mankind. No pressure? 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 Dean and his gang of supernatural sidekicks in their wise-cracking misadventures filled with magic, destiny, and a whole lot of beer. And, as always, the Devil's in the details. ________________________________ What people are saying about Steve Gilmore and RISE OF THE GIANTS: “A supernatural thrill ride! Urban Fantasy at its best!” “Shocking, hilarious, explosive - it's been too long since I got sucked into a book this way.” “It's like the Dresden Files with Rambo and Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, and Chuck Norris in it. I highly recommend it as an enjoyable read that also sparks some deep thinking.” “Intensely awesome! This book has it all, action, adventure, and humor.” “It was a mix of many disparate elements: conflict between good and evil and the complexities that play into distinguishing the two; salty, earthy soldier's wit contrasted with mind-blowing metaphysical concepts; most importantly, musings on the importance of beer!"
