Publisher's Synopsis
A deadly cat and mouse game between detective and serial killer unfolds across two worlds. True Detective in space.
The world of the Wasteland has come to its knees. Across the universe, between the cracks of reality, yet other worlds await their fall... In the Second Book of Thrice Dead, a new world has prospered, reaching out beyond Earth to the stars... Seven years ago, Detectives Rogers and Marvin put the most dangerous serial killer ever known behind bars. Craig Smiley was a man who did not merely kill for fun or need, but because he believed he could raise the Gods of the Black Gate. Thought insane, they exiled Smiley to the prison colonies and filthy mines of Mars, hoping there he would rot. However, Smiley won't be caged, and once again Rogers and Marvin must hunt a man that might not only be a serial killer, but a prophet and a conjuror of powers beyond imagination and control. The fate of another world stands in the balance. The apocalypse isn't coming; it's already here... Gods of the Black Gate is the second epic instalment of The Book of Thrice Dead. A six part multiverse apocalypse, uniquely blending of science fiction, fantasy and horror. Think King's Dark Tower meets Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show.Praise for the series:
