Book Details
A magickal novel by comics legend Steve Englehart in which an ex-Army DJ is recruited by a legendary alchemist to fight a cabal that is using magick as a weapon of mass destruction.
Max August was a point man when he served during the Vietnam War, the guy who had to lead his patrol through dangers he couldn't possibly anticipate. Now he's a disc jockey, at one with the music and his faithful audience . . . until the day when he is swept into a battle invisible to all but the participants.
For nearly five centuries, Cornelius Agrippa has fought against an evil that has threatened to corrupt and destroy everything good and untainted in the world. Now, Max has joined the battle. It wasn't his idea to fight a demonic entity that can become anything it wants: an undying monster or the most desirable woman in the world. Max has been chosen by fate to fight those who would use magick to destroy freedom and wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world. Along with Agrippa and Valerie Drake, a beautiful, talented singer, Max is the only hope of the free world.

In The News
“Steve Englehart comes up out of nowhere to explode on us with a first novel that places itself way up there with some of the finest in the genre. The Point Man is as exciting a slam-banger as you'll find this year. But it's much more than that. The magic is most magical, and enormous to boot, and the mystery and the tension will not release you.” —Twilight Zone Magazine
“I haven't read a novel like this since The Exorcist.” —Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of the Illuminatus! trilogy
“Englehart weaves a roller-coaster ride of music, magic and madness.” —bookgasm.com
