Book of the Week: Sandman Slim

It seems the angels (both in favor and fallen) have been keeping a big secret and its come back to bite them in the ass. In Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim, a ruthless and powerful force is moving to devour the world and once it's done, it'll be heaven (and hell) bent. Scrambling to correct a mistake they should have fixed at the beginning of time, the angels call upon the only man who stands a chance: the monster that kills monsters, Sandman Slim.

For the past eleven years, James 'Sandman' Stark has been fighting in hell...literally. Dragged down by a mysterious, unknown, and most definitely evil force after being betrayed by his closest friends, he's forced to serve as the devils' plaything, fighting hell's grittiest demons for the entertainment of the masses. After the assassination of hell's highest ranking generals, and the acquisition of the key out of hell, he's back on Earth and there's only one thing on his mind: Revenge. With a kill-list that's nearly immortal, he'll need his newly acquired skills and the help of some old friends to get the job done. But what happens when Stark finds out a much more foul game is at play?

The people on his hit list are into something much deeper and far more dangerous than sending him Below and the consequences extend way past the life (and 'not-death') of James Stark. What's a guy to do when the angels are no better than the demons, Earth's no safer than hell, and the line between friend and enemy is constantly blurred? Well, if you're Sandman Slim, you load your gun and take aim.
