Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Sam Connor has always had a unique relationship with his guardian angel. But his uncanny sense of perception has been in overdrive as of late, and for good reason---he s being followed by a man he knows is trying to kill him.
And that s not all Sam senses. Abductions and grisly attacks are blanketing America in what seems to be a calculated and epic crime wave. And while Sam can t explain it, he knows that somehow he s supposed to do something about it.
Deeply rooted in both contemporary and nonconventional religious history and doctrine, Offspring s world is one like ours---but it s populated by guardian and fallen angels, malevolent demonic entities, and vile human thralls. Only high school aged--Sam and the other Offspring of angels and men have the ability and power to close the veil through which mankind s vicious enemies are coming. But will they understand their inheritance in time? Sam s fate and the world s---and the gathering traction of the Fallen Angels---is in his hands. And to make matters worse for Sam and his growing band of brothers, a pact now exists between the Fallen and their allies: Destroy the Offspring.
As Sam and three other Offspring are inexplicably drawn to a small Tennessee town, they find themselves hunted by these ancient, near-omnipotent, and lethal enemies. Jackson s heart-pounding debut supernatural thriller blows to its climactic conclusion when the Offspring must understand their unique inheritance and control their surprising strengths before it s too late.

Offspring buzzes with unearthy adrenaline; it reeks of brimstone and burned rubber. A meticulously crafted chess game of supernatural suspense, Offspring is a page-turner of the highest order. Jackson has an epic storyteller s eye for sensory detail, while his narrative moves from set piece to set piece like a diabolical Rube Goldberg machine. This one really cooks. Absolute highest recommendation. --Jay Bonansinga, author of Frozen, The Killer s Game, and Oblivion

Jackson s classic good-versus-evil story takes us through an exciting biblical battle between angels and demons. An intense, violent, and suspenseful adventure set against a landscape of stark possibilities and doom, drawing the readers in with a cast of interesting characters and larger-than-life events. A thrilling read to the end! --Raymond K. Wong, author of The Pacific Between
