Sandman Slim is back, acting remarkably civilized. Its been weeks since he has killed anyone, much less in a really bloody manner.

Then he finds out that his long-lost love has been taken hostage from Heaven and pulled into Hell as a hostage of the war to take over Hell and all bets all off. The war of his ex-comrade to take over both Heaven and Hell has gotten to very very personal. And Slim will do anything - even go back to Hell - to stop it and save his lost love.

Kadery manages to raise the stakes of in this novel - making it even more action packed and bloody then the previous ones (as promised, and difficult to believe); and the twist at the end sets it up for a great refreshing next novel.
