Product Description

Product Description

A computer disk no one can read but everyone wants.

An orphan whose visions of death and destruction hold the key to his past and future.

A pair of master thieves hunted for a crime they did not commit. An investigator of the unknown, a stalker of demons.

A government agent whose murder investigation will bring him face to face with a tragic mistake from his past.

All connected, all unwitting pawns in a plan set in motion over nine centuries before their birth. Pursued across the globe by enemies both human and supernatural they must overcome their mistrust of each other and uncover the truth before it destroys them and unleashes a malevolent and ancient evil upon an unsuspecting world.

"Fallen Heroes is a stylish debut filled with sparkling characters in a skilfully drawn adventure that heralds the arrival of a bright new talent." - James Barclay

"Easily compared to ‘Sin City’, ‘The Da Vinci Code’, ‘Heroes’ or ‘Buffy’ – there really is something for anyone that enjoys reading or watching Sci-Fi/Fantasy." - Waterstone’s

5.0 out of 5 stars Legally Addictive, what a barnstorming read!! 19 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Fantastic,compulsive,addictive can't wait for the next instalment. On a serious note, as someone who rarely picks up a book outside of holiday mode this proved to be an excellent read, gripping to the point of obsession on my part, very difficult to put the book down, the intricate, but engrossing plot leaves you in total suspense from one chapter to the next.

Other reviews suggest a trilogy, if this is the case count me in can't wait, come on Barry your public awaits!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic adventure with a sharp modern twist 8 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Fallen Heroes is a stylish supernatural thriller. It has a richness and a darkness at the heart of it, and an especially charismatic and characterful lead. The shifting strands of plot, counterplot and shadowy agencies, juxtaposed with pulp adventure make for a heady fusion of action romp nostalgia and sharp, modern multi-layered modern crime writing.

Let me say this - Napoleon Stone is the Van Helsing of the modern day. A professor who still goes out and fights evil is an admirable character, and I enjoyed every one of the myriad characters in this action romp. The occult and cult give good scares, the plots-within-plots of heroes and villains alike combine to a boss-fight finale that couldn't have higher stakes. Immensely enjoyable. I'm looking forward to digging in to the comic books set in the same universe and am only sad I never got to be in the audio drama. YET.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys Indiana Jones, Dracula or the recent MMO The Secret World.
