ABOUT the Dark Crusade

An ancient race discovers a lost device able to create souls and

comes in conflict with those sent to reclaim it.

Suppose you had to fight a war in a place you could not go. So you

sent warriors protected in specially made armor to do the fighting for

you.

For thousands of years you sent them in your name. For thousands

of years they fought and died only to be resurrected and returned,

again and again, engaged in an eternal war, waged by immortal

warriors.

Now suppose the device to grant them infinite life has been stolen by

your enemy who now has the power to existence-erase your warriors

forever.

A science fiction horror story set in the Sixth Millennium, the first

book

of the apocrypha trilogy is told in a tense Gothic style immersed

Anglican and Norse myth and lore. Chronicling the quest for the

lost

ark of souls, Odyssey into Oblivion takes you into an alien

civilization

on the verge of redemption and resurrection. A culture

very similar to

our own and every bit as terrifying.

What thing so vile, Good and Evil have joined forces against it?

Author's Note:

This novel is not for the faint of heart. It contains graphic, gruesome and

grotesque

depictions of violence. It is through such physical suffering that the

spirit is forged and

the soul purged of impurity. The more painful the experience,

the more important the

lesson. And the greatest lesson to learn in the conflict

between Good and Evil is to

discern between Good and Evil.

In war, it is wise know your enemy. But when the greatest threat lies beyond

death, only

those who truly know themselves shall be saved.

"From the hottest fires come the purist ashes."
