Product Description

HALLOWED BE THY NAME:
Feeling sure he has finally cracked the secrets of man's evolution, Dr. Trenton Hallowed uses himself as a guinea pig for his new genetic mutagen. He soon finds himself upon the threshold of unbelievable power. But a vicious beast is waking within him. An increasing number of people turn up brutally murdered in the lower districts of the city as Trenton celebrates new success. Jonathan Hallowed, the victim of a mob hit during one of Trenton Hallowed's exhibitions, wakes in a morgue drawer wrapped in a body bag. His flesh is riddled with bullet wounds, yet he lives. Jonathan must figure out what has happened to him and why the police are calling his cousin Trenton a vicious murderer. Even worse, Jonathan may be the only one who can stop him.

HOLLOWED GROUND:
Bred as a genetically enhanced weapon, Samuel Stokes has just become too powerful to control. While those who made him seek his destruction, others desire his power for their own gain. Samuel strikes back at anyone deemed a threat to his survival, but he's awakened an evil that has been waiting 30 years to be set free. Meanwhile, Jonathan Hallowed wakes after 30 years to a changed world. He finds a catastrophe that has set his old NEMESIS free. Now he must find a way to end the game once and for all or die trying.


NEW BONUS EXCERPT FROM "THE SERPENT KINGS," by James Somers

“James Somers is one of my favorite authors. His pacing, creativity and the unique spiritual perspective he brings to his stories never disappoints.” – Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and INSTINCT.

PRAISE FOR: THE REALM SHIFT TRILOGY

"The Realm Shift's intrigue is second only to its action!" -- Wayne Thomas Batson, author, The Berinfell Prophecies and The Door Within Trilogy.

"The Realm Shift doesn't just draw you in, it sucks you in! The story is full of mystery, adventure, danger and inspiration. I highly recommend it!" -- Brian Tubbs, Pastor, Sligo Baptist Church.

"The Realm Shift is written in a grand mythic type of storytelling reminiscent of Tolkien's Lord of the Ring Trilogy. It grabs the reader from the get-go and takes you on an intense ride through its thrilling, unstoppable trajectory!" -- Rai Aren, author, The Secret Sands.

"The Realm Shift is spiritual warfare as you've never read it before. An awesome book!" -- Betty Dravis, author, Toonies Invade Silicon Valley and 1106 Grand Boulevard.

PRAISE FOR: THE CHRONICLES OF SOONE


"...an intense, action packed sci-fi story with a heart. A gripping story, not to be missed!"—Jeremy Robinson, Bestselling Author of: PULSE, INSTINCT & BENEATH

“Sparks of Creative Genius: Somers' strength is plotting. No bog down scenes here. It just keeps amping. Wait until you meet the cyborg assasin Vale. He alone adds a rogue suspense mechanism worth the price of admission. The Vorn, the Barudii, the transdimensional rift--all very cool elements. A Story Worth Hearing!”—Wayne Thomas Batson, Bestselling Author of: The Door Within Trilogy, Isle of Fire & The Berinfell Prophecies

“Everything an action sci-fi fan could ask for: Full of battle. From the opening scene I was captivated. Woven into the action are moral dilemmas and tragedy, coupled with a unique perspective on the battle between good and evil. An excellent read.”—Craig Alexander, Author of: The Nineveh Project & The Assassi

1.0 out of 5 stars If gratuitous, commas make you happy, as a pig, in slop,, February 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HALLOWED BE THY NAME (Omnibus Edition Including Hallowed Ground) (Kindle Edition)
... you will probably be absolutely, positively thrilled by this book. If, however, after a while, the strained clauses, and the broken, compound thoughts, begin to tire you, then, please, plan on an early evening.

Quoted passage: Trenton crawled to the point where the walls of the apartment intersected and then over into that space. He passed a vent and looked into the room where some men were talking. One of the voices sounded like Ming. He adjusted his angle and clearly saw the man sitting in a large, leather chair at the end of a long, oval shaped table. At least fifteen men stood around the room armed with submachine guns.

Trenton smiled and began a quiet hand-over-hand trek toward the leather chair and Ming sitting in it. He listened to the guards trying to contact others over wireless headsets in a vain attempt to locate him. He had crawled upside down along the pipe to Ming's approximate position, then Trenton pushed away hard from teh pipe with enough force to explode downward through the cardboard, ceiling tiles.

I believe that I was once vaguely interested in the story line. It is even possible that, in a few weeks, I will be able to overcome the stilted, intensely comma'd voice that I keep finding in the narration, and that I'll find myself, once again, able to skim through the book with some degree of enjoyment.

It's possible. It's not likely.

[Review written, intentionally, with as many commas as possible. I don't expect editing to be perfect, but there may have been a comma bonus written into the author's contract. You definitely get your $1 worth of commas.]

Edited to add: I give up. Our "hero" has lapsed into prayer, denials of evolution, and continued testimony regarding the eternal life he had already gained by being a Christian. I'm certain that somewhere there is, in all likelihood, a subset of sci-fi loving Fundamentalists, but I'm not one of them - and I find it difficult to really root for this side. For sale: Slightly used Kindle ebook and untouched sequel. Will meet your comma quota for next decade. Inquire within.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Day Jekyll & Hyde Taken to an Extreme, August 19, 2009
This review is from: HALLOWED BE THY NAME (Omnibus Edition Including Hallowed Ground) (Kindle Edition)
This novel has a very interesting premise and hooked me at the beginning. The action and suspense was non-stop and kept me turning the pages in anticipation throughout the novel. The characters were interesting and well developed. I was somewhat disappointed with the nature of Trenton Hallowed's second "evolution" but the continued suspense and action made up for this.

Overall, a very good read. However, I must state that the tremendous number of typos created an unwarranted distraction throughout the book.
