What happens when you accidentally bring one of the world's most powerful blood-mages back from the dead?

Orson Reid and his friends are about to find out.

But first they'll need to deal with the Paragon Society's ever-growing web of lies, an ancient shape-shifter blood sport and a very unexpected display of magic ability—but not necessarily in that order.

Whoever said being the good guys was easy, was dead wrong.

And to complicate things even further, it seems that somebody is getting really close to fusing cutting-edge technology with magic.

All hell is about to break loose. Can Orson and the gang survive the coming storm?

The supernatural, action packed, twists and turns of Cabal will keep you up well past your bedtime. Get your copy today.

Includes the bonus novella, Singularity Barbecue, the story that introduced readers to the world of the Paragon Society.

About the author

David Delaney

30 books66 followers
David Delaney has been telling stories since he was a little kid. Of course, many of those early stories were told to get him out of whatever trouble he had gotten himself into. (But if his mom is reading this, he never lied – honest.)

As an adult, David continued telling stories, but a specialized kind of story called - The Television Promo (basically the TV show version of a movie trailer). If little kid David had known that grown up David would spend his days working on hit shows such as The Simpsons, 24 and Bones he would have totally spazzed out.

Now, David continues his joy of storytelling with the Paragon Society, a supernatural thriller series wherein battle mages and shapeshifters clash with people-eating-demon-women (among other nasties) over the fate of the Human race.

This has so much excitement in it. More challenging sitiuations, power development, two new characters are introduced, and they find new advanced technology! Fantastic world building and well developed characters. Read in order!! You might not understand what they refer to otherwise.
Can't wait for the next book!

Według mnie ten tom rozkręca się dopiero pod koniec tak od około ostatniej godziny - zresztą znów kłania się moja znajomość angielskiego. Cóż to dużo mówić, magia, zmiennokształtni, czarnoksiężnik a nawet hakerka. Tym razem Orson wraz z zespołem poluje na Blood-Mag-a - czyli po staremu. W tle tajemnicza grupa i starożytne zaklęcia.

Nie chcę więcej zdradzać ale tom trochę "mroczniejszy" od poprzednich i czekamy na kolejny!
Ocena 2,9 gwiazdki.

The plot deepens as Orson, Lucy, and Wyatt discover the Caball

As the team adjusts to some recent changes in their world, they must determine who is on the right side of the war that is beginning.
Magic makes anything possible and now the strongest blood mage they know of, Marcus, may have found a way back from the dead… or maybe there is another explanation…

Series just gets more Exciting

Love our heroes and the story's unrelenting excitement. The progression as we learn more about Paragon has been consistently engrossing and I'm anxious for the next piece in the tale.

I have enjoyed all 4 books and hope there will be many more

I like Orson and his refusal to give into the Crazy Guy. I hope he continues on that course. Sometimes the story got a little convoluted in Lucy but I persevered!

What a Twist

The books just keep getting better as the series goes on! I like how all the stories tie in together. There is a perfect balance of funny and serious and a whole lot of pop culture references!

Not just a Cabal

The forth book was interesting. Very happy with some parts and some parts, not so much. Not as much explained as I hoped but I enjoyed the story. We get a bonus story that unfortunately ends with no real ending. That was annoying.

Excellent continuation of the series

Excellent continuation book in a series that continues to surprise, without obvious hints. Enjoyed, waiting for the next!

Clean editing, good characterizations, and un-predictable.

Same base review as last few. Somewhat shallow but overall fun. However this one introduced a few more inconsitencies... Like how the person who only found magic less than a couple weeks ago has become a very varied caster.

But if I treat it like an action movie it works.

I still love this series, and what a cliffhanger! I can't wait to read the rest... If you're looking for a good supernatural fiction with loads of interesting characters, give this series a chance.

Cable the latest book in the paragon society is a great read. The books are easy to follow and although I think there could be a bit more history of the characters pushed into the story and by this I mean you can better understand their reactions more in the development of the story. This is a great read and I have loved the series as a whole. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.
