SHADOWS WILL FALL by Trey Garrison (Part III of III of The Spear of Destiny)
Publisher: Harper Voyager
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Available January 22, 2013
Preorder-Amazon:Barnes and Noble:iTunes
Description:
Part Three of three in the first “Far Rangers” novel: THE SPEAR OF DESTINY. The first in a new steampunk, alternate history, action-adventure series.
The North American continent is made up of several rival nations, and a Cold War is building between them. The Nazis rose to power a decade earlier. People travel by airship and powerful organizations calculate with Babbage’s Difference Engine. The Nazis have hatched a plot to raise a legion of undead soldiers.
Enter Sean Fox Rucker and Jesus D’Anconia Lago, two Great War veterans and freelance pilots who are pulled into the quest. They are joined by a brash Greek merchant, a brilliant Jewish cowboy, and the woman who once broke Rucker’s heart. This ragtag band of reluctant, bickering, swashbuckling heroes soon is locked in a globe-spanning race against Nazi occultists, clockwork assassins, and a darkly charismatic commando. In a world where science and the supernatural co-exist, and the monsters of legend are as real necromancers who summon them from dark realms, our heroes alone stand before the rising darkness. But all their efforts may not be enough.
The stakes? Who will be first to secure an ancient holy relic that will lead to either the salvation or the downfall of mankind?
Garrison recaptures the unapologetic adventure, wonder and excitement of the classic pulp fiction of the 1930s and 1940s, blending elements of Steampunk with deeply-researched historical fiction and a good dose of humor. The novel also explores major philosophical and moral issues relevant to our contemporary world: the trade-off between security and liberty, the morality of pre-emptive war, and what fundamentally separates good from evil.
