OK, I'm calm. I'm gonna insert the book summary here so I can get an iced drink because this book is hot. 5 STARS hot!

Sixty years ago Abe Griffin saved the world and gained eternal youth.

Or so he thought.

Now, a man that Abe believed to be long dead is killing the surviving members of Abe's old squad in order to reclaim the relics that they have kept hidden for decades.

The relics form an ancient beacon that must never be used, in a ritual that must never be completed. But the end of the world requires more than just activating the beacon.

I was very impressed with this book. Character development was great and I found myself really wanting to "know" the characters better. The fact that the hero "Abe" is flawed makes this story all the more engaging. In addition the other character's flaws and emotions reel you in.

The story is part Stephen King and part H.P. Lovecraft. Unlike some of my other recent reads, Langlois deftly moves the plot along, without having to resort to ham-handed expository devices. The story and dialogue flows...Read more
