What if mythology isn't myth? The ancient Greeks told fabulously detailed stories involving unbelievable creatures - monsters dominating all tales from that time. Were they just highly imaginative, or was their inspiration from somewhere else?

Doctor Talbot Harrison, a professor in archeology, receives a phone call one day which will destroy everything he perceives as reality. His brother has been mysteriously killed and within moments the United States Military appear at his door, literally dragging him from his home. Thrown into a helicopter under intense armed guard, it doesn't take long until they are attacked by something which cannot possibly exist, something drawn to destroy the one man who can stop the beasts from a land beyond Hades....

About the Author

Luke Romyn spent many years, over nineteen in fact, working in the security industry. From doorwork in some of Australia's roughest pubs and clubs to protecting Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew from the overzealous jaws of tenacious toddlers, Luke has worked throughout Australia and internationally in a vast array of roles.

He's done close protection for UK celebrities in Fiji and chased feral pigs and snakes out of the jungle film sets on Steven Spielberg's and Tom Hank's epic: The Pacific. There are few things Luke hasn't seen.

With all this experience behind him, it would have been tempting to write a set of memoirs. Instead, Luke utilized it to fuel his own expansive imagination and began writing fiction. Initially starting with short stories, Luke rapidly progressed onto novels.

All three of Luke's books have been category best sellers on Amazon, with over a quarter of a million copies being distributed to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imagination to the Nth power! April 19, 2012

By Claude Bouchard

Format:Kindle Edition

Having read Luke Romyn's two previous works, I already knew BEYOND HADES would be well written and entertaining. What I wasn't aware of was that I was supposed to strap myself in while reading the book.

From the gripping prologue which immediately seizes your attention, Romyn hurls you into an endless vortex of action through unexpected dimensions which leaves you trying to catch your breath. Where many have tried to create the next fantastic adventure which resulted in a remake of some past epic novel, Romyn has successfully created a series of parallel worlds the likes of which I'd never seen and he has done so seamlessly as to make the reader believe this could actually be.

If you have an active imagination, turn it on to high gear and get ready for a wild ride. If your imagination is more passive, you needn't worry as Romyn supplies his for your use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Written like it intended to be a videogame July 22, 2012

By Lane

Format:Kindle Edition

The book is 'high adrenaline' like everyone says. But not that much more really. It was just enjoyable enough to read that I finished it, but not so much that I would have paid money for it (it was free on a sale)

The characters and plot read more like a teenage-male focused video game, and the characters themselves can be quite cliche and one dimensional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adrenaline is better than caffeine April 15, 2012

By Adina

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I finally got some uninterrupted reading time last night, but it wasn't enough to finish the book. This morning, before anything else, I read the remaining chapters. No need for coffee now! It feels like I just stepped off the world's longest and most intense roller coaster, complete with mythical beasts, bloodshed, and betrayal. It's exhausting and exhilarating at the same time.

Blacklisted and The Dark Path gave me an idea of what to expect, and a new Romyn reader should probably warm up with at least one of them. Beyond Hades is simply... more. More edge, more twists, more speed, more intrigue. Buckle up and hang on, because this is the best yet from Luke Romyn.
