Welcome to the world of Peter Crossman, Knight Templar Extraordinare.  He’s a man with a mission…and his boss is literally out of this world. 

Despite what is known as gospel truth, the order of the Knight Templars never really went out of business.  These warriors of God still walk among us, battling evil to keep Adam’s children safe…as they have been doing for millennia.

Peter Crossman is a priest and a man of many talents, performing last rites with one hand and handling a flamethrower in the other. He walks with faith at his side and with his colleague, the dangerously sexy Sister Mary Magdalene of the Special Action Executive Branch of the Poor Clares. Peter is faced with a crisis of biblical proportions when a search for some missing UN peacekeepers goes horribly wrong.  A very unholy object is found and may open a portal to damnation. 

Fortunately, demonic magic isn’t the only source of Power in the world. And Peter’s got a direct line to the biggest guns in the universe.

Smart, funny, and sexy, The Apocalypse Door is a rollicking caper with a touch of the sacred.

I’d reported in by phone to the local chapter as soon as I was clear of Newark. The phone call had been four hours ago and every bone in my body kept screaming, “The OP is Blown, Get Out,” but there are times when you have to ignore screaming bones.

Fun high concept adventure about secret agents working for the Catholic Church to save the world from fungus creatures from another dimension. In places it reads like parody and it may be intended as such, but it goes to show how hard it is to write a parody of a genre that borders on self-parody a ...more
