Award-winning voice actor Roger Clark, the voice behind Red Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan, brings you a world of rugged outlaws, dark magic, and plenty of six-shooters. The Witcher meets the Dresden Files set in the Wild West in this guns-blazing Weird Western by a number-one Audible bestselling duo. James Crowley met his mortal end in the West in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm. This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff. However, a local cobbler has turned up missing at the same time as a number of graves were desecrated. Crowley must follow the clues, all while dealing with a cutthroat gang who treats Dead Acre like they own it, an extraordinary woman who makes it hard to focus, and locals not keen on sharing the truth with strangers. What really happened to the cobbler and the upturned graves? What sort of evil being haunts this sad little town. Life isn’t simple for a Hand of God.

Rhett Bruno grew up in Hauppauge, New York, and studied at the Syracuse University School of Architecture where he graduated cum laude. He has been writing since he can remember, scribbling down what he thought were epic short stories when he was young to show to his parents. When he reached high school he decided to take that a step further and write the “Isinda Trilogy”. After the encouragement of his favorite English teacher he decided to self-publish the “Isinda Trilogy” so that the people closest to him could enjoy his early work. While studying architecture Rhett continued to write as much as he could, but finding the time during the brutal curriculum proved difficult. It wasn’t until he was a senior that he decided to finally pursue his passion for Science Fiction. After rededicating himself to reading works of the Science Fiction author’s he always loved, (Frank Herbert, Timothy Zahn, Heinlein, etc.) he began writing “The Circuit: Executor Rising”, The first part of what he hopes will be a successful Adult Science Fiction Series. Since then Rhett has been hired by an Architecture firm in Mount Kisco, NY. But that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to work on “The Circuit” and all of the other stories bouncing around in his head. He is also currently studying at the New School to earn a Certificate in Screenwriting in the hopes of one day writing for TV or Video Games.
