Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Demigod series - Book 6: BetrayalAfter defeating the Pastor, Jason has no option but to recuperate and regain his health. While recovering he is confronted with the unanticipated consequences of having used his power on others when healing them. Though his interventions were lifesaving he is nevertheless conflicted by guilt at the unintended legacy his aid leaves behind when healing. With his power continuing to grow and determined to correct past mistakes, Jason initiates multiple schemes to put things right. Further use of his power when he should be maintaining a low profile attracts even greater attention he has worked hard to avoid. The circumstantial evidence pointing to his involvement in past crimes builds to the point where it is hard to continue claiming his innocence. Frustrated and angry at the growing difficulties this brings to his relationship with Maria he takes the battle to some of those enemies pressing him hardest. An easy win, but the growing trail of evidence emboldens his enemies further and forces them into collaboration, hoping together they will succeed where in the past they have failed on their own. Leading the new coalition is a group of fundamentalist Christian fanatics in a shadow government agency with unlimited remit to ensure their success against enemies of the Church and the US State. They believe Jason is blessed with Heaven sent gifts he has elected to use against, rather than for, the Church. Without having to work within the restraints of the law, they have determined to bring Jason over to their cause or destroy him. The battle he has long prepared for inevitably draws closer. Combined as his enemies are and no longer confined to operating within the law there is no limit on the steps they will take to secure their goal. Without physical proof they resort to abduction, torture and extortion as tools in the drive to gain control of him and thereby his powers. In the final analysis the most lethal blow comes from someone close to him. Jason is in a battle of wits and willpower to save his life and regain his freedom. As the torture grows more extreme and the determination on either side to prevail becomes entrenched, it becomes a race for Jason to gain the upper hand before he dies in captivity at their hand. Meanwhile, his friends desperately search for him while staving off attempts to sequester his wealth. His friends are no less at risk than Jason and become powerful levers for his enemies to secure control of him and his abilities. When the chips are down, it becomes a case of all or nothing to save his own life and those he loves. The time for keeping a low profile has passed. It is time to release his full potential, terrified though he may be of what that is and the damage it will cause.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Pride: Demigod - Book 2 Following on from Jason's revenge against the London based criminal gang that raided his house and murdered Brygida, Pride starts with the aftermath of that mass killing frenzy. Jason knows that eventually the authorities will link Brygida's murder and the subsequent massacre of the criminal gang to him. Using his time wisely, he prepares, building his wealth and influence, growing his network of contacts for when they will be needed. As expected, the police arrive armed with that connection providing more than adequate motive but only circumstantial evidence. The investigating officer becomes convinced of Jason's deeper involvement and will not easily be shaken off. It then becomes a game of wits to deflect the investigation elsewhere and using his new-found political influence to remove himself as a suspect from the investigation. Still under suspicion with the investigating officer, Jason, nevertheless, manipulates events to ensure he is eliminated as a person of interest from the investigation. Feeling sufficiently secure to move on, Jason is once again drawn to America and shortly after arriving identifies someone else with paranormal abilities. Initially shocked and wary at having been also sensed by them, he nevertheless decides to track them down, quickly becoming embroiled with powerful and ruthless individuals who will do whatever they need to achieve their own ends. Determined to maintain his low profile and anonymity, Jason tries to stay clear from criminal activities and violence, while focusing on his own activities but is inexorably drawn in. He is soon fending off organised criminals and corrupt police detectives, while trying to avoid further contact or involvement. It soon becomes a direct and violent confrontation as his adversaries start to target those around him and just when he needs it most, his power temporarily lets him down, forcing Jason to rely on his own resources until he can once again bring his power to bear. In the meantime, Jason's understanding and control of his power is growing, drawing him to a devastating conclusion, that if correct risks everyone he cares for and holds dear. For now, he must focus on protecting those he loves and who need his assistance from the immediate threat, but once the immediate problem is resolved, he is starting to realise he will need to face up to an even greater threat, something that turns his blood cold with dread and for which he has no answer.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Jason's new life with Maria is a delicate balancing act between using his power judiciously to keep some semblance of control over it and not compromising Maria's obligations as a police detective or religious convictions. Despite the challenges, their fledgling relationship grows as they find their own means of navigating the unique perils their respective gifts bring to bear. Just as things appear to settle Jason's friends are subjected to a paranormal attack, something he is duty bound to respond to. New attacks start on multiple fronts from unrelated sources and inevitably disparate events become entwined. Jason finds himself spinning plates in all directions but as events grow more complicated if one plate falls the others will quickly follow. As the threats escalate, the solutions become more desperate and he finds himself becoming an enemy of the Catholic Church, potentially putting him at odds with Maria. Having entered the game the stakes have rapidly climbed beyond what he would have expected and the only way he can see to win risks exposing his true nature to the Church, threatening his anonymity. With threats coming from all sides, and up against witches, demons, Russian mafia and now the Church he is facing a stacked deck. In his favour now is greater understanding of his power and how it works, along with a few tricks he has picked up along the way. Jason will need that new experience and all the tricks at his disposal to keep himself and those he loves safe and his relationship with Maria in-tact. Once again, he is in a high stakes game with everything on the table just to make it through to the next round. He will need all the tricks he knows, and bucket loads of luck just to keep from going under. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Demigod series - Book 5: PastorIncreasing use of his supernatural abilities puts greater pressure on Jason's precarious relationship with Maria. Working hard to navigate an increasingly difficult route between Maria's faith to the Church, her obligations as a detective in the Brooklyn police force and his own moral code, Jason grows convinced he is the one who caused the underlying problem between them after previously using his power to heal Maria. A timely residential course for Maria offers a break, at the right time to let rising tensions between them cool down to a more manageable level. At a loose end while Maria is away, Jason starts a new project that provides the excuse to follow up on someone with their own power intent on plaguing him with unwelcome night-time visions. Their siren calls through his dreams inexorably drag him towards a common foe he does not seek but soon finds he cannot avoid. Having grown confident of his own abilities, with this adversary his supernatural powers become unreliable, misleading and consequently deadly. After showing his hand, direct conflict becomes inevitable, and once engaged in earnest, only one of them will survive to walk away. To late, he discovers his opponent has stronger powers and an all-round winning hand that leaves Jason without an answer and nowhere to turn. The battle ground is drawn up in Louisiana, the Pelican state, home to vast swamps and voodoo, part of America's deep south bound up in the legacy of its pre-civil war history. Letting himself be suckered into a rigged game, he is suddenly scrabbling for a way out with nothing looking like it will work. After an extraordinary run, his luck was at last turning against him, with everything at stake, more than he would ever have willingly added to the pot. With all other options closing-down, the unknown force of voodoo provides a tentative way through the quagmire he is in. Winning and losing become relative, survival becoming the overriding objective. While he is trying to work out the voodoo riddle which offers the only available lifeline, the clock is ticking and for once it is not a problem Gilgamesh can answer . This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Demigod Series - Demon Book 3: Jason discovers that despite giving all he had in the battle to save Maria's life at best it was a Pyrrhic victory. Exposed to the full force of his power she is now estranged from him, fearing him and worse collaborating with investigation agencies to gather evidence against him. Barely recovered from his ordeal and devastated at the repercussions of using his power on Maria, he feels the need to put space between himself and those he cares for, before he causes them further harm.Sensing a mysterious and persistent demand for help directed towards his power, Jason willingly complies, driven by curiosity and hoping for a distraction from his current problems. Given the nature of the call, it also holds the tantalising prospect of discovering more about the nature of his own power. With the ongoing battle between his multiple personalities and the increasing growth of his power, he feels the urgent need to find a solution to reconcile his unique problems before they consume him or leave him exposed to the world for what he is.What starts as a mild curiosity on his part rapidly develops into a life-threatening scenario that, once he becomes committed to, promises to suck him in beyond a point he can get back out of. Physical risks quickly develop into moral obligation leading to responsibilities he can't possibly fulfil. As the problems mount, he starts to realise the situation also provides the best opportunity yet of discovering more about his power. Whatever that opportunity can deliver for him it has to be quick, as he fights to stave off death for the one person who might provide the invaluable insight he needs. Jason rapidly becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of hiding in the open from the agencies he wants to avoid, who are already focused on the person he has been called to help. Whatever precautions he takes he is inexorably pulled closer to the spotlight and beneath the magnifying glass of those he is trying to avoid.Even in the forest wilderness along the Virginia Appalachian Trail, coincidence and controversy dog Jason and he must tread his own narrow trail, where a single misstep will see his downfall along with those he feels driven to protect. More than ever, Jason is forced to fall back on his ability to sow confusion and misdirection, so attention is focused elsewhere, anywhere other than on himself. If he can maintain the illusion long enough, he may just buy sufficient time to figure out how to survive the relentless battle for control of his own mind and free will. At the same time, conflict is drawn to him like filings to a magnet, which combined with his inability to idly stand bye, while the less able are victimised and he must again fend off the predations of the ruthless and powerful.In parallel, unbeknown to Jason, someone else is conducting their own investigation into him on both sides of the Atlantic, acquiring a deeper understanding of him than he has of himself. Fate inexorably draws the different strands together, where the outcome can fall either way. Jason is in a high stakes game where each win results in a bigger pot and higher risk, where at best he can stay in the game but never seem to win. This time, someone has introduced a joker into the pack and the hand he's holding isn't as strong as he believed, with the laughs likely to be all on him. This item is printed on demand.
