What folks are saying:
"An amalgam of cop thriller, science fiction and magical fantasy. The mix is highly entertaining. The plot is taught, fast moving, and original. The prose is solidly crafted. Characters are fully realized, engaging and likable. The plot lines of the two protagonists cleverly interweave to converge in a rousing climax. The dialog is delicious; I often found myself laughing out loud." -- J.T. Thorleifson
"It holds you with an intensity that makes it almost painful to put down. I couldn't wait to get off work and get back to it" -- Vertically Abundant
"A spectacular, witty, well rounded, action packed, original, edge of your seat, funny (did I say that already?), inspiring, gritty, non derivative, roller coaster ride of a novel." - A.J. Ross
"As things develop the action increases and mysteries are revealed and things get wilder as you travel through twists and turns to an exciting conclusion. If you like scifi, fantasy, and characters who drop one liners and jokes in the midst of apocalyptic battles you might just love Out of the Black." -- Josh Gribble
"It is rare that I come across a book that just creeps up on me, and makes me all of the sudden have to set it down and have a holy s%$t moment. Halfway through I was looking for more books by this author.. Not only was the tech aspect of this book making me salivate, but his ability to blend sci-fi, humor, horror, fantasy, and grotesque, was just mind blowing." -- SandSharkAz

From the back Cover:
It is the end of a nearly perfect society. Beautiful, happy people still drive electric cars to fulfilling jobs like any other day, but no one noticed that the Apocalypse began a few weeks ago.
Now the perfect society's misfits are its only hope for salvation, but they're barely keeping it together on a normal day:
* A homicide detective burdened by an unforgivable failure investigates an impossible murder.
* An overweight nurse comes out of her shell exactly long enough to be attacked by a dead man.
* An introverted computer genius and his insecure girlfriend are marked for death by a conspiracy so ancient it predates written history.
Each of these damaged strangers holds a piece of the puzzle, but as they begin to find each other, they realize they are being stalked by a methodical killer with the pure heart of a child.
Now they must piece together the mystery and find the courage to stand together against an ancient, hungry apocalypse.
Now they must learn to trust each other and trust themselves.
Now they must become the heroes the world needs before the darkness falls forever.
Price: $2.99
