Rise of the Giants
(2021)(The first book in the Heaven's Dark Soldiers series)
A novel by Steve Gilmore
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.
Not quite divine but no longer human, Dean was unwillingly thrust into the prophetic pinnacle of a timeless battle raging in the shadows of the Earth and the Heavens. Better yet, he and his newfound gang of arcane sidekicks might be the only thing standing between mankind and an incursion of otherworldly giants. 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 the wise-cracking misadventures filled with magic, destiny, and a whole lot of beer.
And, as always, the Devil's in the details.
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, or Steve McHugh’s Hellequin Chronicles.
