Description

The world is a dangerous place, and it's Peter Crossman's job to protect it. Men of the cloth can only do so much against ancient evils - you need the ancient strength of faith. That's where Peter Crossman, Knight Templar in modern America, comes in. Crossman's world is yours and mine. Governments and businesses squabble, people go out for coffee, folks meet and fall in love, and the Red Sox will win the Series when Hell freezes over. But that last just might happen if Crossman doesn't get his latest assignment right. The Apocalypse Door is a spy story with a truly unique twist. On a routine mission to discover the whereabouts of some missing UN peacekeepers, our hero discovers a plot that points to the uncovering of a very unholy artefact. An object of such power that it might very well open a portal to damnation and beyond, giving some unsavoury people a whole lot of power and bringing about the destruction of the universe. Fortunately, demonic magic isn't the only source of Power in the world... and Peter Crossman's power comes from Above.

Reviews

"Smart, funny and sexy, THE APOCALYPSE DOOR is a rollicking caper with a touch of the sacred. "An inventive melange of hard-boiled thriller and speculative fantasy. Though other novels have blended mysticism, mystery, and fantasy, few have done it as smartly or succinctly as this one." - Publishers Weekly"
