‘We’ll die one way or another. Better to die with a smokin gun in my hand and blood on my knife.’ No more running. Sick of being hunted, and faced with no other option that isn’t simply giving up, our group of antiheroes have decided to bring the fight to the enemy. No matter that they are only a few, damaged and chaotic, and the enemy is immeasurably vast, not to mention existing in another dimension, outside of space and time. The odds are absurd, but they must try. But before they can even get to the Fifth Place, first they must find the Door that leads there. And that involves journeying far below the earth, through the dead subterranean city of Old Ghoum. It is the stuff of nightmares, both of monsters and mental anguish. It will take everything they have to keep going – and retain the last shreds of their sanity. The Fifth Place is about the universe under mysterious control, and the group of antiheroic misfits determined to survive it and be free no matter what comes. Ideal for fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower books, Garth Ennis’s Preacher comics, Joe Abercrombie, and the Farscape TV series, The Fifth Place is for those who want a pull-no-punches adult series merging western, sci-fi, gritty fantasy, dystopian, adventure and horror genres, with a diverse, irreverent and tragically flawed cast of characters to root for against all odds.
