Autorentext
Derek E Pearson is a prolific writer who, since his debut in 2014, has two trilogies to his name - Body Holiday published in 2014-2015 has been extremely well received, as have the first two volumes of Soul's Asylum published in 2016. Pearson's totally new Preacher Spindrift series kicks off with GODS' Enemy in Nov 2016, and a children's book he's working on will be released in 2017. An art school graduate, Pearson is a witty, fun and unusual character in that he 'lives' his stories, hence the amazing output. In conversation he'll tell what it's like to merrily 'swim' in his extraordinary worlds alongside the highly-charged telepathic woman he has created and adores - and who is being discussed for possible film rights, with Pearson seeing Jemma Coleman or Daisy Ridley in the role.
Klappentext
Heaven's at war and Earth's on the frontline.
Pearson's time spanning 'Preacher Spindrift' series begins in the Texan town of Mule's Ass, named after the last thing the founder looked at before setting up camp.
Texas 1883: A man has been found face down in a fire ants' mound. He has been raped and brutally murdered. His killing sparks a nightmare for Sheriff Caleb Sawyer and the townspeople of Mule's Ass.
Aided by the enigmatic Preacher Spindrift, Sawyer must not only solve the murder but also confront and defeat the hideous Sha-aneer or 'worm of the deep earth', an ancient creature that devours the flesh and the souls of the Eden-born - mankind itself.
A fallen angel, a beautiful spirit woman and a brave resourceful man must unite forces to save the town or the whole world will fall to the Sha-aneer, and the light of human civilisation will be extinguished forever.
