Sons of Darkness
The Bore, the legendary weak point in the barrier that separates Hell and Earth has been re-discovered in the depths of the Mexican jungle.
The Catholic Church wants to seal the Bore forever but the Devil’s human worshipers have their own sadistic agenda and will do anything to stop them. Sinister agents seek position and move in the shadows, even the Church has been infiltrated by evil.
Tom Granger - a down on his luck Ex-solider - is part of a firm unwittingly hired by the Church to protect the site but the priests fail to tell the contractors what is really going on. At the Bore, Tom discovers a dark world of myths and monsters that is about to rise up against us.
For standing in his way the Devil decrees that Tom is to be punished and orders his wife’s execution. Tom suddenly finds himself plunged into a deadly race against Hell’s undead assassins to save the woman he loves. He must come to terms with the fact that the fate of his wife and the rest of the world hangs in the balance. Is this truly the end?

This book reads like a movie, and I mean that in a good way. The pace is fast, but interwoven with different story lines which keeps you hopping from place to place. It's fantastic.
What do you do when Hell is about to be unleashed? Well if you're Tom, you fight. You fight to get to the women you love and you fight anything that stands in your way, Including the four Horsemen and anything else thrown at you.
You don't get a lot of answers in this book, but you really don't need them. Instead you get the beginning of the apocalypse and a promise of more to come.
In addition to a flawed, likable main character, some interesting supporting characters, and a dog that is much more than your average canine, there is a good bit of gore and several nightmare inducing scenes... you should definitely read this!

Not my typical genre but it was awesome. Had me hooked from the beginning and did not let go. Descriptive but allowed for my imagination to play a role as well. Classic story of good vs evil whereby evil is on the verge of taking over and a one man army has to try and stop it.

It's amazing, probably life changing but I would say that I wrote it!

Awesome
A lot like a good action film, just on paper. Plenty of blood, suspense, and drama. Memorable characters and some genuinely funny moments. Looking forward to more.

The whole self-publishing/eBook/publish-on-demand market can be scary. I’ve read more than my fair share of stinkers, but every cicada cycle one or two good ones pop up and takes the sting out of all those other books in which the author couldn’t even find the right tense. Sons of Darkness turned out to be one of the good ones. It’s really not my genre of book (or so I thought), but I won a free copy on Goodreads for posting a smartass comment in response to a question, so the least I could do was give it a fair reading.
First, the writing is good. It’s not loaded with grammatical errors or horrible don’t-give-up-your-day-job writers’ errors. Secondly, it’s a pretty darn good story. It’s got guns, motorcycles, swords, at least one good dog, and demons trying to claw their way out of hell and illegally immigrate to Montana. And I’ve always suspected that at the end of the world, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would show up on Harley-Davidson Fat Boys. Speaking of theology, Sons of Darkness kind of plays fast and loose in that department, but if you’re getting your theology from a horror/apocalyptic novel, you have larger issues already.
So, if you’re looking for a good story, Sons of Darkness will do the trick. It’s worth the few bucks it’ll cost to take the ride.

Thoroughly enjoyable and very fun to read. Action packed with twists and turns around every page. This book is well written, far above the normal drivel you find in ebooks these days.

Riveting!
Horrific and suspenseful ... nice pacing.
I'll be following this author from here on.
He's onto something interesting.
Thanks to the author for the gift copy!

This was my kind of story. Dark, interesting, more than just a blood-bath. I won this book in a contest on Apocalypse Whenever and I would like to thank Mr Hanley for submitting it.
