Synopsis

Tom Perkinje, the reluctant Greater Demon and recent transplant from Harding, New Jersey, to the Abyss, has defeated and captured the not-so-valiant Sir Talarius, Knight Rampant of Tiernon, and has humiliated and demoralized the army known as the Rod of Tiernon. Unfortunately, to do so, he had to hack the mana streams between the god Tiernon and his High Priests, and now his buddies are telling him that Tiernon is going to send a Host to investigate this unprecedented event.

Oh, and the fact that he reversed a Holy Artifact of Tiernon has not gone unnoticed, either. The folks upstairs are not pleased. His actions have completely disrupted the plans of not only the Rod of Tiernon but also the Sky Fleet of Oorstemoth, who had thought to bring Tom to justice for illegally destroying the ship trying to obliterate Tom and his friends. The two armies are now looking to unite and rescue Talarius and arrest Tom (permanently).

Of course, there are also the three Arch Demons trying to steal a book that Lenamare, Tom's Accursed Master, stole from Oorstemoth; and whose demon horde had been infesting the wizard city of Freehold.

After such a promising debut, I was expecting a lot from this second novel in the series. Honestly, I was hoping for the same fast paced mix of action and comedy but with a more polished writing since the author had, from what I understand from his site, a new professional editor/proofreader and had......more

Goodreads review by Rosver

The author says that these three books are actually one book that is divided into three, in that case, what we have here a typical sagging middle. The author seems to be so focused in hooking the readers in the beginning and going all out in the ending but virtually nothing is left for the middle. Wh......more

Goodreads review by Douglas

I just blew through the first three books of this series so I'm giving them all the same review. These books are worth reading, but they have one big flaw. They don't tell stories. When I finished book one I was a bit confused- the book was long enough that it was time for the book to end. Then I re......more

Goodreads review by Eric

Good follow up and definitely with the wait I liked the book quite a bit. It follows the same time of the first, not exactly a given with many authors, is funny, and succeeds in upping the stakes fairly well. Unfortunately, there were a few spelling and grammatical mistakes, but nothing crippling. A m......more
