What do you do when the company you work for becomes more dangerous than the monsters it sends you out to kill? My name is Ethan Drake and I’m a Commander in the Combat Department of Blackstar, a global company meant to protect against the monsters out there. Lately though, I’m beginning to wonder if the Company itself isn’t the real monster.Right now, I’m knee-deep in demons, coming to the end of an epic three-day battle taking place in the slums of the city. We were sent in to hunt out a demon terrorist named Molloch, responsible for a string of atrocities in the name of…hell, I don’t know what cause he’s fighting. Neither do I care. Fact is, I’m at the end of my tether and thinking of jacking it all in to go do something else anyway. It doesn’t help that this mission isn’t about what the Company claims it’s about. Something else is going. I intend to find out what it is, and then confront the head of the Company, Wendell Knightsbridge, a.k.a. The Magician—though I might just get the Cocktail or a bullet to the head if I do.So while my future is anything but certain, what better time to delve into my past than in the thick of battle? Maybe then I’ll get some clarity and find out why I’ve ended up a corporate killing machine…if the demons or Blackstar don’t put an end to me first that is.And if I make it out alive, I hear the police department are hiring… Set ten years before the events of INFERNAL JUSTICE, this short novel gives insight into Ethan Drake's past and the events that made him into the man he is today.

I’m N.P. Martin and I’m a lover of dark fantasy and horror. Writing stories about magick, the occult, monsters and kickass characters has always been my idea of a dream job, and these days, I get to live that dream. I have tried many things in my life (professional martial arts instructor, bouncer, plasterer, salesman…to name a few), but only the writing hat seems to fit. When I’m not writing, I’m spending time with my wife and daughters at our home in Northern Ireland. Be sure to sign up to my mailing list: https://www.npmartin.com/creed-mailin...
