And we got some very nice action and logistics and running around. Cool, I’m on board, lots of room in that basic set up for rollickin good times.

Four boys find out they have super powers (ish) because they are the four horsemen of the apocalypse (ish) and they all need to find each other and protect some sacred item from the demons who want to use it to nefarious ends. The bulk of the plot is pretty straight-forward. Normally I don’t like framing devices that try and pass the whole book off as someone actually telling it (books are haaaard, ain’t no one going to be that eloquent off the cuff!), but in this case it was easy enough to ignore, and I did like the interjection chapters. There are short chapters scattered throughout where we come back to the ‘present’ and to Gideon and his predicament. The book was told through a framing device: Gideon is recounting the story to an interrogator after he’s been captured. But I did have a few problems with some of the characters. And, of course, I was tickled pink by the military main character, but I could be a little biased on that part. This book had a great tone, lots of action, and a really creative set up. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he's fallen for-not to mention all of humankind-he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger. Now-bound, bloodied, and drugged-Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident.

Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen-Conquest, Famine, and Death-are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse. His death has brought to life his real destiny. Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can't remove. A new fantasy adventure from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Veronica Rossi.įor eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S.
