Shadow Walk: The Gathering

by Erin Collins

Imagine seeing the Universe through Lucifer’s eyes, getting a firsthand glimpse into his thoughts, his ultimate schemes…a plan to create his own ‘son’. Imagine the consequences.

In a secret genetics lab in the New Mexico desert, evil the world have never known before rises out of the ashes.

Ushered like cattle, tormented souls meet an unknown fate, facing experiments too horrible for the human mind to comprehend.

Secrets are kept buried--along with the dead.

One man who escapes the torture chamber, is haunted by a past he cannot remember.

One woman holds the power to usher in the most devastating time in the history of mankind. Can she control it--or will she be the unwitting catalyst for a war, which will shadow all wars?

About the author

Erin Collins grew up with a passion for the written word. Having a father who was a prolific writer, and a mother who took the time to read to her and her siblings, it was inevitable that she would someday pursue writing as a career.

Her first novel, Shadow Walk: The Gathering, is scheduled for release soon, through Light Sword Publishing.

Excited cannot describe the feelings she has over this accomplishment. So many writers who have penned novels, do not have the opportunity she has been gifted. Erin is very grateful for the chance to see her books, not only in the book stores, but in customers' hands.
She has many works in progress, and hopes to publish more.

HERE'S WHAT READERS ARE ALREADY SAYING ABOUT SHADOW WALK: THE GATHERING!


A chilling glimpse of a new world order?, June 18, 2008
By Micki Peluso (New York, USA)

In today's world, fiction and reality appear to be merging toward an uncertain future. So it is with Shadow walk: The Gathering, the first of a trilogy based upon an insidious past and present with the terror of ominous days ahead. This book takes the reader back through decades ago, where the seeds of evil germinate and simmer in a cauldron of biblical prophesy, and intrigue as deceptive as `The DaVinci Code'. Some of the lab experiments written about in this fast-paced novel are already being whispered about and covered up by scientists, government and power mongers. Will humanity look the other way as horrors and the things nightmares are made of come to fruition? Erin Collins addresses the eternal question. Can evil, at long last, overcome good, while the world complacently ignores the many signs and evidence of a terrifying new world? With a touch of the sinister movie, `Rosemary's Baby,' Collins will shock readers with her compelling tale--while leaving them impatient for . . . the rest of the story. A must read.

The evil is out there and it can’t be stopped. It’s been around for generations and has infiltrated so much of society that Leah Channing and Peter Wiler are running out of time as they run for their lives. With a child in tow, they’re desperate to escape the evil known as Tanas or “Sir” to those who serve him. But will they escape? How does one get away from Lucifer when he can sense one’s presence and infiltrate minds?

To understand why Lucifer’s so interested in Leah and Peter, author Erin Collins opens the story with Leah’s grandmother, Danielle. Although much of the book is back story, it’s told with such detail and immediacy that I was quickly drawn into the plight of this family.

Shadow Walk: The Gathering is apparently the first of a trilogy, which explains why the main plot isn’t resolved at the end. This story of good versus evil provides an intriguing twist that reminded me of the X-Files at its best. Needless to say, I want to read on to find out if and how Lucifer is eventually destroyed, and at what price? Great stuff.
