Beschreibung

We all serve a master in this life. But only a very few unlucky souls serve the Lord of Death...

When Chester Davis returns from an archeological dig in Mexico, he is a changed man... and not for the better. On a cold and rainy night, Davis reaches for a gun and goes on a shooting spree in Lower Manhattan... So begins another adventure for Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair of Scotland Yard’s Special Division, an elite unit that deals with extraordinary cases. DCI Sinclair is a battle-hardened veteran of Afghanistan, a man haunted by the past. This time, Sinclair travels to an Aztec burial site, where he has to find and destroy an ancient death cult...

+++ "A hero so suave and dashing, he makes James Bond look like a grubby detective sergeant, a plot that reads like it came straight from the great vaults of Hammer, and enough action and derring do to keep even the most ardent pulp fan smiling with glee.[...] A tight, punchy read that heralds the start of a great new series of pulp horror. Highly recommended." Ginger Nuts of Horror

-- "John Sinclair” is the relaunch of Europe’s longest running horror series. Originally conceived in 1973 by Jason Dark and still going strong, the "John Sinclair” novellas are firmly rooted in the finest pulp traditions: true page turners with spine-tingling suspense, exquisite gore, and a dash of adventure.

-- For fans of the dark visions of Stephen King, Clive Barker and the "X-Files” and the fast-paced action and globe-trotting excitement of James Bond.

-- Gabriel Conroy was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1967. After high school, he joined the armed forces and was stationed in Germany for several years.

Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, October 2, 2011.

We were on our way to our death.

We were afraid, all of us.

The others, they didnt want to show it of course, but I could see it in their eyes. Shelton, Taylor, Lawrence, Franklin and the rest. Their faces were tense. Stiff upper lip, they say. All of them grim, except Shelton. Good old Shelton.

He was standing, holding on to a handrail. Show-off. Its not easy to stand in a helicopter in mid-flight, but I suppose he was trying to prove a point. He was grinning at Taylor. She ignored him.

What do you say we get a drink, when this is done? he said to her, shouting over the roar of the rotor blades. Just you and me.

Forget it, Private, she called back.

What, youre into women or something?
