This Broken World
(Vesik Series # 4)
By Eric R. Asher
Release Date- 12/19/14

Blurb-

An ocean of darkness lives in the journal of Philip Pinkerton. Ancient things with no place in our world are rising from the Abyss. Ezekiel, the arrogant, mad god has called us into battle. Does he think we can't touch him, or does he know we can't? I wish I knew. The world's only hope lies in a forgotten weapon, the strength of our allies, and one necromancer of questionable ancestry. Yeah, this is going to end well.

Excerpt:

I grimaced as I laced my fingers into the dead hand. The cold flesh warmed and I felt the flow of power a moment before the dead fingers flexed and grabbed onto my hand.

I swore I heard the Old Man say “I hate those damn things,” and then the world vanished into darkness.

I had a brief moment of panic before warmth flooded my entire being. It flowed through me like the rhythm of a heartbeat. A faint golden glow took shape to my left.

Motes of light drifted down onto the severed hand as it began to bleed. The light coalesced and brightened, calling more sprites that gathered like snowflakes drawn to a tiny world. In moments, there was a woman, born of the purest light, holding my hand.

“Ah, I have a new master.” Shoulder-length hair flared out slightly when she turned to look at me. “Where do you wish to go, child of Anubis?” Her eyes were golden light.

My grip loosened on the bloody hand, and then her fingers locked into my own.

“Do not release me here, for there is nothing but death in the Abyss between.”

Nixie’s warning came screaming back into my mind. Do not let go.

“What?” I asked, my hand tightening on the woman’s. “Who are you?”

“You may call me Gaia.”

“The spirit of the Earth?”

“In a way,” she said with a tiny nod of her head. “Where do you wish to go? I would imagine you wish to join the King at the Concilium Belli.”

I nodded and looked at our intertwined hands. Ever so faintly, I could see the dead hand within the warm light. “Are you bound to this hand?”

“It is my hand,” she said. I waited for a smirk or some kind of indication she was joking with me. Nothing came.

“Why are you helping me?” I asked.

“It is my purpose.”

Purpose. I wasn’t sure if she was being vague, or blunt. “Are we within the Warded Ways?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve never experienced them like this before.” “If you have travelled the Ways, you have experienced this. It simply happened so quickly in your perception that you cannot recall it.”



My Review:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Damian is a Necromancer and a son of Anubis. He has been fighting battle after battle with his master Zola's ex-boyfriend that has been around for many, many years. Damian has fought all these battles but he has not won the war yet. Damian is a very soft hearted man but mess with someone he loves or cares about and he will at least show you that he has been there even if it gets his butt beat. But when it comes to his family and the people he cares about he will give it is all and it is going to take a lot for anyone to go up against him and will a battle.

Damian being a son of Anubis then he is going to have to keep fight these battles until he wins the war. If he does not win the war then the world will be destroyed along with all of the people. But Damian has no intentions of ever letting this happen so he will fight until the end no matter what it takes.

Damian has been training with The Old man Zeus and both of them are mighty powerful men or gods. They are not only teaching Damian how to throw punches but that he always must have a backup plan. He has to always watch his opponent for his weaknesses so that he can hopefully always have his next move planned out a heard of time. The Old Man has been teaching him that he can never let anyone get inside his guard that he always has to try and get inside their guard first. Weather he manages to get inside their guard or he could die. Damian is also being taught muscle memory as well so that when he fights all of his moves will be second nature to him. He will be able to make his moves and never give it a second thought. To be a good fighter you cannot fight with your hands alone.

I have read all of the Vesik books and loved them all. If you love zombie books like I do then you need to read the Vesik series. Each and every book in the series have all been just fantastic. If you have not read them then I sugest that start with Days Gone Bad the first book in the Vesik series.
