The Trojan War is over and the Greeks have lost, returning home to
a country fractured by defeat while Prince Hector of Troy dreams
the dream of Empire. For Odysseus, the Fates have rewritten his
epic tale of adventure that lasted twenty long years and the man
the world has come to know as its greatest traveler/adventurer has
arrived home to the tiny island kingdom of Ithaka to lick his
wounds and reassemble his life. Glad to be shut of war, he begins
the process of rebuilding only to have his plans upset by rumors of
political unrest and the death of a tyrant. Forced to travel to the
mainland to attend the funeral games for a fallen king, he is
plunged into a murder mystery that could set Greece on the path of
a brand new, devastating war. Can Greece's most clever hero
outsmart a villain who knows him quite well? Can he defy legendary
monsters, the spirits of vengeance and even the Gods to solve the
world's first whodunnit?
Kal Hakala is the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation's best
agent, but even he needs a break after his last case, which brought
him a hair's breadth from death and killed the fiancee of his best
friend, a Mescalero Apache agent named Canton Asate. Kal's
temporary desk-job is nothing less than leadership of the entire
BSI. Now it is on his head to assemble teams of agents to fight the
latest Supernatural incursions and man up if they fail. Windigo
spirits in Chicago are possessing human beings and transforming
them into ravenous cannibals. Canton is the natural choice for a
team leader because of his knowledge of Native American lore. Is
Canton, a legend with a knife, ready to strike again, so soon after
his fiancee's death? What about Kal's own girlfriend, Jeanie? Can
he stand to put her in danger and beyond his protection? Kal is
forced to use the BSI's cutting-edge virtual reality system to see
what makes them both tick. Will the experience of virtually living
their lives afford him the will to send those he loves into danger?
Can an emotionally damaged man who has never led a team and a woman
who traveled through time from the 1940s make the cut? For Kal, the
choice isn't easy, but for Canton and Jeanie, it could be deadly.
For ten years Kal Hakala has been the Bureau of Supernatural
Investigation's top man, the longest surviving agent in its
blood-soaked history. The World At Large has no idea that The World
Under exists. And its vampires, demons, zombies, and mythic
monsters are growing increasingly restless. In all Kal's time with
the Bureau, there has been no case he couldn't crack, no monster he
couldn't kill. Then a plague of zombies comes to Denver, along with
a vicious serial killer dubbed The Organ Donor. A childhood
encounter with a legendary monster has left Kal with an endless
supply of rage and hatred for all things Supernatural. But now the
target is on his forehead, and the Un-Dead don't die easy. The
Bureau has a few aces of its own-a few magicians, a cyber-ghost.
Unfortunately Kal is a perennial loner ... And the World Under is
wise to his tricks.
After avenging himself on the mythical monster that killed his
sister, Kal Hakela is back at the Bureau of Supernatural
Investigation. But, with only a few months left on his contract,
he's tempted to retire along with his new love, former MI-7 agent
Jeanie. When a friend and former BSI agent in San Francisco kills
himself, he leaves Kal a clue, one he cannot ignore. The city is
full of bad memories for Kal. In his last mission there, he killed
a deranged serial rapist who used magic to murder his victims.
Though successful, the mission resulted in unfortunate collateral
damage, which earned Kal the enmity of San Francisco's ghostly
Supernatural protector. With the fate of every human on Earth at
stake, Kal and his team confront a slew of Supernatural perils,
from giant insects to gargoyles. And they must complete their
mission without the help of the BSI, its magical weaponry, and the
superhuman power of Kal's legendary rage.
Jude Oliver hails from a long line of assassins. Tired of his
family's treachery and wanting more from life than power, he
escapes with their secret weapon, the Silver-an ancient artifact so
potent, so evil, that it could plunge mankind into a permanent
state of ruin and despair. After fifteen years on the run, Jude
receives a surprise visit from a cousin who planned to murder him
to obtain the family treasure. So begins Jude's desperate quest to
find another artifact powerful enough to destroy the Silver. His
traveling companion is an unlikely friend, Mike Engle-a Catholic
priest who found his calling on the brutal sands of Iraq. In the
course of their journey, the two men clash with evil in many forms.
Mike learns the details of Jude's incredible history and the family
secret that reaches back 2,000 years. Before their final,
earth-shattering battle, the duo will find surprising allies and
the strength to carry on against seemingly insurmountable odds.
Will the lessons Jude has learned about love, friendship and
sacrifice be enough to save him from his family and his destiny?
