Hell on Earth

Overview: Mike Wild is much older than he has a right to be, considering the kebabs, the booze and the fags. Maybe it's because he still thinks he's 15. Apart from dabbling occasionally in publishing and editing, he's been a freelance writer for ever, clawing his way up to his current dizzy heights by way of work as diverse as Doctor Who, Masters of the Universe, Starblazer, 'Allo 'Allo! and ­ erm ­ My Little Pony. Counting one Teen Romance, one ABC Warriors and two Caballistics Inc, The Clockwork King of Orl is his fifth novel. However, only his beloved wife and tuna-scoffing cat give him the recognition he deserves. A vicious cross-breed of The X-Files and The Da Vinci Code ...

But times are hard and Department Q has been sold off as a private company – Caballistics, Inc. "Show me your sins" – the last words heard by the residents of Boswell before incineration by a powerful force in 1944. Old news until a forgotten biblical being is awoken by an apocalyptic cult. Facing explosive ley-lines, Boswell's reanimated dead and a fallen angel intent on bringing about Judgement Day, it's another busy day at the office for Caballistics, Inc.
