Book Description
Black Sun Reich: Part One of three in The Spear
of Destiny, the first novel in a new steampunk, horror, alternate history,
action-adventure series set in a 1920s where the Nazi’s have begun their
subjugation of the world using the occult, advanced science, and a holy relic
with awesome powers.
And don’t miss the other parts of this serialized
novel - Part Two: Death’s Head Legion and Part Three: Shadows Will Fall.
Trey 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.
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, 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.
