Let me set the scene. You wake up, and there’s two people in your house drinking your coffee and beer.
Oh, and they came to kill you.
Must be a Tuesday for Steven, our anti-hero in Eric Lahti’s Arise, sequel to Henchmen. After unleashing the God of Dreams and taking out congress, he thought he’d be able to just settle down in his cabin in Colorado and stay below the radar.
Nope. When you unleash a God, it irritates the universe. Now a bunch of deities he never knew existed want a piece of him. He’d be okay with fighting off the world if it were only him they wanted to kill. But the stakes are higher. He must come out of hiding and make it right, or it’s not just his neck on the line. The life and souls of the few people he cares about are being threatened. Particularly, Jessica, the woman he doesn’t want to admit he needs. And there’s something special about Jessica. They don’t just want to kill her. He has to figure out why the supernatural being is after her before he destroys everything.
The Henchmen are back. Doing all the wrong things for the right reasons. Eric’s action-packed speculative fiction takes us from the mountains of Colorado to the beaches of Tijuana, to the deserts of New Mexico. This group of assassins and misfits will take on cults, demi-gods and even Nazis to reign in the God of Dreams before the out-of-control deity turns the world into a living nightmare. Before it is over, a new power will Arise out of the dust of a secret lab in the New Mexico desert. But if you want to find out whether that new power will be good or evil, you’ll have to read Eric’s book.
Thanks for reading!
Usually, I would jump to the third book in his Henchmen series, but since I happen to have a hard copy of Better than Dead, and I am going off the grid this weekend, I am going to be reading that instead.
