Hunters Rise

Echo Team #1

by Joseph Hutton

Former SWAT officer Cade Williams is no ordinary man. A chance encounter with a powerful supernatural entity left him possessed of certain unique abilities, such as the power to cross between the lands of the living and the dead. Now he commands the Echo Team, a special ops squad of modern Templar knights, and the things they hunt are far darker and much deadlier than the criminals that he used to face. Echo's latest mission has the squad facing off against the Council of Nine, a group of necromancers determined to seize the Spear of a legendary relic whose powers they hope to twist to their own ungodly ends. Cade and his men cannot allow this to happen, no matter the cost, for the results would be too horrible to imagine. But the necromancers are allied with the same demon that left Cade for dead five years before, a creature so powerful that the Templars know it simply as the Adversary. In order to keep the Spear from falling into enemy hands, Cade is forced to face not only the personal demons deep in his heart, but the very creature who put them there in the first place. Hunters Rise is the first book in a genre-bending urban fantasy series that combines dark supernatural suspense with military action. If you like breakneck-paced thrillers, unforgettable characters, and intense battles against supernatural creatures, then you'll love this pulse-pounding series.

This is a fun, fast-moving supernatural action novel. I liked it better for reading a copy signed by the author (actually Joe Nassise, writing under a pseudonym) who is an Arizona writer. (It took several attempts to catch him at the right time down at Comicon, but I'm glad I did.)

He writes a nicely-paced, straight ahead kind of pulp fiction, and I mean that in the best way. If you are in the mood for a book in the vein of The Destroyer or Mack Bolan--you know, pulp fiction action, with just the good parts--but you'd like to see it filled with inventive and surprising supernatural elements, this is a great choice. Lots of fun, and lots of books already published.

Here's to getting book 2.

Hunters Rise

Great book, loved the action,all the characters are believable. The storyline was very Interesting and I had no difficulty in believing. I loved the Templars, it would not be to much of a stretch of the Imagination to believe they operate in today's world. As for Good versus Evil, that does exist in all it's forms unfortunately for all of us, in one form or another. Fab

This is one of the most unique worlds I have read in a long time. I usually read Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. No matter what your reading preference, please give this a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. From the very beginning I was swept away. The hero has been through so much in life. My heart really went out to him. Yet, even though he has suffered great loss, he still stands tall and tough. Wanting to fight and do the right thing for the sake of humanity.
