I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. - Albert Einstein
A novel by Mark H. Walker
It’s the summer of 1985. Sergeant Matt Dahl is a tanker, dedicated to his crew and country, Mike Hudson is a private dedicated only to himself, and Colonel Michael Balakirev is a Russian paratrooper, intent on holding the Tanenhause Bridge. These men are among the hundreds of thousands that are embroiled in the Third World War, embroiled in NATO’s struggle to stall the Soviet advance through West Germany.
Yet the unparalleled devastation wrought by the war has torn the fabric of our reality and beckoned things, dark things, things that feed on blood and fear, into the lives of these soldiers and the men and woman who fight with them. Revelation contains more than the crack of tank cannon, or the burp of an M-16’s three-round burst. Inside is also the howl of a Lycan, the speed of an attacking vampire, and the dark evil of an ancient demon.
The paranormal elements weave believably into the story. There are no armies of crazed werewolves, vampires who glisten in the sun before seducing lonely teenagers, or demons with forked tales. Just combat in a dark, desperate world on the edge of Armageddon.
Thousands of men, women, and machines battle across Germany. Can the Soviet horde be stopped? Can the evil that war has unleashed be contained? Based on the award-winning World at War board game, Revelation is the first in the World at War trilogy of novels, and a groundbreaking blend of gritty, military realism and suspenseful paranormal action. |
