Death's Head Legion: The Spear of Destiny: Part Two of Three

Death's Head Legion : Part Two 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 Nazis 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 One: Black Sun Reich 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 preemptive 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 coexist, 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. When we last saw our heroes they were on their way to the Vatican, looking for the spear of destiny, in order to destroy the zombie army of the Black Sun Reich. Armed with snarky banter and bizarre weaponry provided to them by none other than Nicola Tesla, Dietel, Rucker and company have a young-gun Nazi daredevil hot on their trail, bent on ending their quest in the most brutal of ways.
