The God Killers
Imagine an alternate reality that appears, on the surface, just like our own. However, in this reality, the white light famously reported at the end of our lives is not an escape or deliverance -- it is a trap. A creature calling itself God in a parallel dimension consumes the souls of humans, devouring their energy to sustain itself. This is the reality that Cipher, Han, Natalie and Father Hurley inhabit in The God Killers. Each has had near death experiences (NDE's) and each was resuscitated before their souls were consumed, coming back to Earth horrified by the truth: There is no exit.
Now they must attempt the only course of action available to them: they must kill God. With the help of satanic messages decoded from the nonsensical ramblings of the possessed, the group must evade ghosts and demons on their mission to not only save their lives, but, more importantly, their afterlives as well.

OK... Here's the thing. I was asked to review this book, and I agreed, thinking that it was an interesting premise. And it DOES have an interesting premise, one that I was very curious about, but anything interesting about it was buried under the writing.
This book is in desperate need of an editor. I think that with a good editor, this book could be quite good, but as it is, it was just... not. I tried, but I just could not finish this book. I could barely make it the 30% I read. And that was a struggle.
I don't think I'm an overly critical reader... But I do have certain expectations. For instance, I expect physics to be realistic. If it's fictional world physics, I expect them to be well-explained and consistent. If they are real world Earth physics, I expect them to act like it. A bullet cannot make a 90 degree turn to enter through the temple on the side of the head and then exit through the back of the head. It just doesn't happen. Gravity always pulls down and never sideways. Normal people cannot jump onto speeding cars, bounce off the windshield, over the roof, and then miraculously snag that little gap between the back window and the car's trunk and then have a fight on top of the car as though it's not moving. This character had more trouble maneuvering on the moving car alone than he had when fighting 6+ ghosts off at once.
I wanted to like this book. Like I said before, I thought the concept of an evil, hungry God was intriguing, and Near Death Experiences being used as a method of fighting him is even more so. But in the end, I just couldn't get past the writing, the over-descriptiveness, the unreality of the things that should have been constant laws of nature. I have no problem suspending my disbelief to allow for the NDEs and ghosts and hellish angels and demonic bureaucrats. Well... the last bit doesn't require much suspension, but I digress. I could go along with all of that, if it weren't for the writing making it so hard to actually READ. Here's an example:
I think that the raw potential is there... but it needs honing and to make it into something worth keeping.

"He stepped lightly, careful to avoid the dampest areas of the floor, and pulled out his durable, double-ply, English-style handkerchief, making the regrettable but graceful decision to sacrifice it in the name of saving his sleek, flat-front burberry cotton trousers, placing it on the decaying, splintered bench of the booth where Officer Roche's ample frame was docked.
Roche barely looked up from the red sauce coating the chicken wings clutched between his meaty paws and blubberous opposable digits."
I think that the raw potential is there... but it needs honing and to make it into something worth keeping.

I was looking through the list of giveaway books at Goodreads when this one caught my eye. I read the description and thought it might be good. I was wrong. It's not good. It's Fantastic. I've never read a book like it. A very original idea which the author David Simpson handled excellently. Satan, God, Angels, ghosts, fighting, guns. Enough action throughout to keep you glued to the book to the very end. Oh! Did I forget to mention the thermonuclear bomb. This is a book I will gladly pick up occasionally and re-read. I won this books through Goodreads First Reads.
April 25, 2012
I won this as part of the goodreads giveaways. Reading the back of the book, I probably should have known I wouldn't like it. I am a Christian and had a tough time reading all the blasphemy against God. However, I still read the book and tried to be objective in my rating and review, I still didn't like it. Other than the fact that God was the bad guy, I believe that the story could of had some promise as a great book. It did need some major editing help. The story was choppy and didn't flow. His story also had some pretty big holes in it. I have no problem with cursing, but when every other word is a cuss word then the dialogue begins to suffer. I loved the fact that it was a short, easy book to read, I read it in an hour and a half, but the almost the entire time I was just waiting for it to end. I hate to write a bad review about anything, but I don't believe that book should have been called finished yet.
October 26, 2012
Wow. A super premise poorly executed. I really like David Simpson's writing, but this book felt like it was written in high school. Apparently little editing (whole for hole, etc.). Sneaking onto an aircraft carrier and stealing a thermonuclear device...seriously? There is little to no character development as the characters are constantly fighting ghosts. I see this is being developed into a graphic novel. A graphic novel may be better media than this novel, and I hope Mr. Simpson takes God Killers out of circulation because if I had read it prior to Post-Human, I would never have read that series. Again, wow. So disappointed.

A very easy to read book, whilst it didn't leap out at me for the prose I found myself having read half the book in one sitting!
The story is thought provoking and a new (to me anyway) take on the whole religious/paranormal aspects of life and death. Just enough was given of the characters to hold my interest but not so much that it distracted from the story and its action.
Not one I would have normally picked up but thank you for sending me a copy, I really enjoyed it.

I wanted to like this book, I really did. I loved the premise and the first chapter does an excellent job of being an attention grabber but the premise was absolutely wasted. The first couple chapters were decent and it had a more gritty "ghost busters" style of vibe to it but by time I got halfway through the book I had to force myself to finish it.
The author seemed to be trying to write the equivalent of an "action movie" in novel format. There was even an incredibly stupid scene ripped straight out of bad movies where a character shoots a bullet at a cars engine and the vehicle blows up. I don't want to spoil any major plot points for those who might still be interested in reading it but there are also other preposterous scenes ripped straight out of bad action movies even more ridiculous than the first one I mentioned. The entire last third of the book was one bad action sequence after another. Some of it was so bad it was laughable. The book even included lame one-liners.
None of the characters were really all that interesting. The villain that was chasing them was completely wasted. Early in the book the main character developed an incredibly powerful ability that should have been an important plot point but instead it was used for a minor goal that had no effect on the story and then it's forgotten about a few paragraphs later. Almost all of the "plot twists" were really stupid. Lots of convenient things would just randomly happen at the right time in the story. It was absurd. The characters, both heroes and villains both spent a ridiculous amount of time explaining themselves to each other during fight sequences.
The set-up is great. It has the beginnings of an amazing story but if the premise is what hooked you then expect to be disappointed. If you just go into it expecting some quick paced action sequences featuring ghosts and religious mythology then you might like it.

This book was a bit different than i had expected it to be. i don't want to write a spoiler but it has me thinking about many different things you learn about as you grow with religion and god. This is not a religious book it is syfy and very interesting. I recommend it gives a new twist to life and death.

Despite the 3-star rating, I actually really enjoyed this book. It lost some stars, not for the story, but for how little of it there was. I feel like this book just needs more. More backstory, more character development, more build to the climax. I'm really hoping that there is a plan for more books in this series (prequels would be the only option, I think). It just wraps up so quickly and conveniently, something that doesn't happen in the author's other books.

Interesting concept but average execution.
What if God was a parasite from another dimension that ate our souls when we died?
The God Killers sets out to answer that question but stumbles and sprains its ankle about half way through. However with that being said it's still an enjoyable read. The characters and concepts introduced are enough to make you at least see where the story wants to take you.

Disturbing and dark.
I was repulsed and fascinated. God is an evil, soul consuming alien and the devil is a beautiful woman in a red dress, aiding and abetting. (Go figure). Still, it borders on blasphemy, in my option, and shouldn't be read by those easily offended over a different view to our religious doctrines.

Easy read
Good story. Felt like the author was writing this to sell for movie rights. Woven into the story as dialogue between characters. Different storyline. Could’ve been a bigger book with more build up and background.

The devil is the good one. It's true!
I'll enjoyed this book. The idea of swapping the good and devil in good and bad had always been in my mind and this book did a real good job of it. But then to add in some science and ghost well nuff said. Got me fast.

Not the worst book I've read but not the best either. It was hard for me to get past the fact of God being the demon.

A refreshing and unique take on belief
5 stars for an unique concept well executed!
Positing an uncomfortable viewpoint takes courage, few authors could have done this. Well done!

I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read and I loved the overall concept.
April 9, 2022
Main character has some alarming views on sex work and a healthy patriarchal condescension toward sex workers. Maybe not an inherent a problem, characters are allowed to be flawed, but in this case the character is consistently framed as a righteous, if reluctant, hero throughout the book. And I couldn't help but feel while reading that his views on sex work were supposed to enhance his righteousness in the reader's eyes, instead of being seen as bigotry.
Like, the main character in the book meets a female sex worker, who is outrageously stereotyped (I believe she's wearing a pink bikini the whole time, even while not working). Main character, after a self-righteous monologue about why sex workers are disgusting and low, tells said sex worker that he will heal her herpes with the god powers in his hand ONLY if she swears she will never sell her body for money ever again. Tearfully, she agrees, having had her life changed by this male savior. He then puts his god hand between her legs and heals her herpes.
As I mentioned, this character is framed as a hero throughout the book. I'm 99% sure we're supposed to like this guy. Yeah.

"People with limited vocabulary may find this book amazing." Wow, how sad a comment that one reviewer left.
I absolutely loved this book, and I have not said that about a book for a long time. I normally have three to five books on the go at any one time, fiction and non-fiction, and flip between them to save getting bored; I read this book solid at any chance I was given.
I think I initially got this book free from Amazon, after I had seen it on www.weberbooks.com I almost didn't get it due to some poor reviews about grammar and a bad writing style, but it was free and had an interesting story-line. It has sat on my Kindle for about 3 to four weeks, maybe even longer, without being read.
Once I started to read it I just couldn't put it down. Some of the reviews I have read stated bad spelling and grammar, I didn't notice any of those things. I am not stating that there are no mistakes in the writing or grammar, I just didn't notice anything. The story-line just sucked me in and like any good book the words and sentences disappeared to be replaced by my own personal film.
The author, David Simpson, has other books available and they are now on my hit list to read. I nearly missed out on a fantastic story and author because of grammar snobbery. I should have remembered that a good story is a good story even if it's chiseled into a wall with half a brick, with no commas and no capitals; which this book has by the way.
I also have a very broad knowledge of many religions, I have been a computer/network technician, know about science and how the galaxy works, I know about the four fundamental forces of the universe and I know how a transistor and analogue electronics work; so suspending or bending some of the 'rules' for a good story-line in my book is acceptable.
I will be another person lining up with a book and pen in my hand for a signature.

I really loved all of the Post-Human books that David Simpson has written and for that reason I stumbled upon this interesting title while looking at his other works. It was a available through Kindle Unlimited so I thought why not give it a browse.
It turned out to be a quick and interesting read. At first when I began the book I wasn't sure what I thought of this type of story since you can't really compare the subject to his Post-Human series; though it didn't take long for me to get fully immersed in this crazy over the top story. Really enjoyed the dialogue throughout the story and character interactions.
It was also nice seeing Simpson bring up a few pop culture references of our current time in very a unexpected matter.
Overall, not the greatest read and I doubt I'd seek out another book like this in the future, but for being a David Simpson fan I don't regret spending the time experiencing this side of his creativity.
Looking forward to book 6 of the Post-Human series!!! Lol

God is actually an evil entity trying to consume as many souls as possible. After a near death experience a couple of friends discover this and set out to "kill God". They pick up a couple other people along the way to help them out, while God sends his evil henchman and goules down to Earth to stop them.
An interesting concept, but falters in execution. Some scenes live up to it's potential. I like the over the top characterizations of the demon tracking the main characters.
Unfortunately none of the characters are likable and a few of the plot points are kind of absurd in the context of the book. I realize a novel about killing God requires some suspension of belief, but ??? The ending could use a rework.

Wow. Such a fun premise and fast-paced story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this over two days. Dysfunctional characters, with Satan's assistance, lead the charge to defeat God. God, or what it is being called, lives in an alternate dimension and feeds off the souls of the deceased. For those that go into the light, heed Admiral Ackbar's most famous quote, "It's a trap!"
Cipher, Han, and Father Hurley have lived with the knowledge of the truth, which haunts them in more ways than expected. Those that see ghosts and demons, yet are cast aside as crazy....well, they just relearned how to see true reality. Natalie joins the fray in attempts to kill God once and for all and free the souls of the departed in the process.
It's one thing to fight for survival and quite another to fight for your eternity.
Fun story - fun concept with quality characters, action, humor, and conclusion. Killer cover-art, too.

Here's a book I never imagined reading and and growing weary with. It exhausted me to no end- because it was NON-STOP ACTION! The characters were constantly on the run, because who can escape the eyes of God?
Okay, the book is about an evil entity who sits at the precipice of death and awaits you. It determines whether your edible enough to consume, thus destroying your soul or chucking you to the fiery keep, where phantoms of all sorts will torment you (Still destroying your soul but ensnaring you for an eternity of misery). This thing calls itself God.
I really liked the concept; the idea was good, but it got boring after a while and I just finished to be finished with it. I wasn't thrilled but I didn't walk away with something cool either.!

I absolutely hate giving a bad review. Advice - a proofreader and some editing assistance.
Very interesting concept - God and the angels as beings from an alternate reality who devour the souls of the dead. I really expected this to be a fascinating read. Unfortunately it completely fell apart in it's execution. Loaded with typographical errors and misuse of vocabulary. Inconsistent, sections almost feel like they were written by seperate authors. In some areas the author needs to do research, but then he surprises the reader with a fairly good understanding of Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. An over fondness of the "f-bomb" put me off, some different phrases would be kinder to the reader. Great action, I'd love to see this rewritten under some good editing guidance.

Well this was certainly a different take on who God really is. I thought it was kind of interesting actually. I won't give away any spoilers, but I will give a synopsis of what the story is about. God is actually an "alien" from a different dimension and he eats the souls of the dead to live. Cipher, Han and Father Hurly know this is the case because they've all died and came back to life so they have seen the real "God" and know what he really is. With the help of "Satan" they try to kill this fake "God" so the souls of the dead can be free. It's a quick read.

I didn't want to read this one for a while, because the theme is so depressing.... but I finally got around to it, and wow... this book was a lot of fun!
If you are a devout devotee of God, you probably won't like this, but the 'god' in this book is not the Real God, but an evil alien. Still, they call this God a lot of bad words.
This was a real action-adventure romp, stuff blowing up, death-defying escapes... uh, and death-inducing rescues. Plus Einsteinian physics! It was a little light on the reality (some of the injuries were ignored/gone very quickly), but a lot of fun.

I have read some great works by David Simpson. His Post-Human Omnibus series is awesome. However, it was hard to get into this one. The concept started off interesting, but the rest of book was a never-ending action sequence between our protagonists and ghosts. And the ending was just... well... preposterous. I further found the explicit references to Christian mythology grating. I'm not Christian, but the book felt too anti-Christian.
May 21, 2014
This could have been great. The writing is the weak point, but the idea was solid, which is why I'd still suggest this book. The characters are also interesting, but prepare yourself for terrible and predictable dialogue, well depending on how old you are. People with limited vocabulary may find this book amazing.
November 6, 2014
I liked David Simpson's Post-Human series so when this book happened to be for free, I picked it up on Amazon. While not the worst someone could put out, it certainly was nowhere on the same page as Post-Human. I think there could have been more to the novel's concept and the climax was reached far too quickly for my taste. In total, a quick diversion for a rainy day.

A fantastic read
This book is a real treat to read. A very different take on the afterlife. I do wish the character of Satan could have been more involved. If you enjoy stories of God, ghosts and the thought of dimensions then you will love this book. I'm hoping a sequel is in the plans of this intriguing author. I highly recommend this book.

Something different
Awesome read. Extremely gripping had me wanting more. I still want more like a sequel would be bada$$. I love the twist they did on this story about how good is a soul sucker...makes sense. I don't have a religion..so this was a fun read for me. I highly recommend to those who have an imagination and aren't religious.

Deeply intriguing concept, mediocre implementation.
Loved the idea and the plot, but the writing was somewhat flat, as were the characters. Another reviewer mentioned that this might have been a more engaging and fun read in graphic novel form, and I think that's a great way of putting it.
Fun ride, nothing mindblowing about it, but a good way to spend a couple hours.
