Part of Series
A Nephilim giant scours the mountains for slaves, using a necromancer, merciless henchmen and primitive hunters. The giant also seeks the perfect woman to impregnate, to bear his strapping son. He is like a god to these pathetic humans, an all-powerful champion, doing whatever he desires. But Manus Farstrider doesn’t count on Lod, a killer with a seething mission of vengeance, a man many call mad, because Lod doesn’t know when to lie down and die. It’s a fight to the finish, a brutal struggle between life and death and between a giant and a man. Lod wages a fierce war against the Nephilim of the Pre-Cataclysmic World. Each tale is of novella length, told by Vaughn Heppner, Writers of the Future winner.

You can visit Vaughn at www.vaughnheppner.com I was born in Canada and remember as a small boy crawling in my snow-fort. I closed my eyes, and when I tried to open them, they were frozen shut. I didn't panic, but wiped away the ice crystals, unglued my eyes and kept on building my tunnel. Those were great days! I moved to Central California before seventh grade and couldn't believe I lived in a land where oranges grew on trees and you could pick grapes from the vine. I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, what kind of work specifically. I was miserable not knowing and bordering on desperate. Then one day a friend gave me his typewriter. I began working on a novel. A different person told me it was much easier on a computer, so I bought one and began getting up at 4:30 A.M. each morning before work, writing for three hours. My eyes were unglued once again as the pang of misery left my gut. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: write. So now that's what I do, I write, and write, and write, and I love it.
