About this listen
Angels and giants and beasties. Oh my…
Dean Robinson used to be a soldier.
That is, until a fallen angel with a God complex and a snappy wardrobe killed him.
Now he is something else.
Not quite an angel but no longer human, Dean is thrust into the prophetic pinnacle of a timeless battle raging in the shadows of the Earth and the Heavens.
He and his newfound gang of arcane sidekicks might be the only thing standing between mankind and an incursion of otherworldly giants.
No pressure…
Semi-divine super soldiers, supersized bad guys on high protein diets, a Heavenly grudge match played out on an Earthly stage – Just another day at the office apparently.

Story
Reidon Ward will become a god. He doesn't know it yet, of course. Reidon was born weak, sickly, and small. Afflicted with a painful disease and abandoned by his parents because of it, he has had to fight tooth and nail for every minor advantage life has allowed him. However, his perseverance has not gone unnoticed, and when the most powerful artificial intelligence in human history takes an interest in him, things began to change quickly.

Story
At first, Dr. Gideon Wolf thinks the guy standing in front of him is insane. Ten million bucks for what amounts to a glorified treasure hunt. Ten million dollars, this man offers him, to find a mythical amulet based on, apparently, some maps he printed off the internet and his outsized faith in make-believe. Turns out the unwelcome interlocutor isn’t just some garden-variety kook. He’s Vicente Carrillo, the world’s most feared drug lord, and Gideon learns fast that the deal is nonnegotiable.
