It ain’t easy being Dean. Mr. Blue Sky, the Spear of Destiny-toting, angel-hating goddess and mankind’s shadowy puppet master, is dead. Murdered, actually. Some cloak-wearing lunatic cut her head off on live TV. Although the assassin looked suspiciously like Dean Robinson, Boston’s resident semi-divine super soldier—it wasn’t. It was a cursed, time-orphaned version of him. One who’s vengeance-fueled killing spree was just getting started. As every flavor of über being this side of Hell races to claim the Spear of Destiny and fill the power vacuum created by Blue Sky’s demise, can Dean rein in his demented doppelganger before things get exponentially worse? Or will the ensuing supernatural hijinks lure some long forgotten deities out of the celestial woodwork? Regardless, there’s no denying that Dean’s worst enemy is himself. Kinda sorta, anyway. Gilmore’s seventh book in the Heaven’s Dark Soldiers urban fantasy series is a maniacal mash-up of apocryphal lore, mainstream mythology, and occultist mysticism. Filled with laugh-out-loud dialogue and visceral skirmishes, CURSE OF THE WALKING MAN is a mischief-laden romp through the eclectic universe of angels, gods, and monsters for which Gilmore’s series is well known.
Dean Robinson must stop a cursed, time-displaced version of himself from continuing a vengeance-fueled killing spree that has destabilized the supernatural world. With the death of Mr. Blue Sky, a powerful goddess and puppet master, a power vacuum has formed, attracting every manner of divine and infernal being eager to seize the Spear of Destiny. Dean must confront his doppelganger, a being driven by a dark past, before the ensuing chaos unleashes forgotten deities and plunges the world into further ruin.
The seventh installment in Steve Gilmore's Heaven's Dark Soldiers urban fantasy series, CURSE OF THE WALKING MAN is characterized by its energetic blend of mythological and occult elements. The narrative is driven by sharp, humorous dialogue and intense action sequences, a hallmark of the series. Readers familiar with Gilmore's work can expect a continuation of the established universe populated by angels, gods, and monsters. The plot centers on Dean Robinson's struggle against a dark doppelganger, promising a dynamic conflict within the supernatural hierarchy.
