Curse of the Walking Man
(2025)(The seventh book in the Heaven's Dark Soldiers series)
A novel by Steve Gilmore
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.
STEVE GILMORE is a former Army officer and graduate of West Point. His urban fantasy novels are a distinctive blend of military grit and apocryphal lore that have been enjoyed by readers around the world. His books are recommended for readers who enjoy Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, Kevin Hearn’s Iron Druid, or Steve McHugh’s Hellequin Chronicles.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
