Fallen angels, powerful demons, and the tainted descendants of Templar knights threaten to wage war in heaven and upon Earth—and only Sam Connor and his fellow Offspring can put a stop them. There's only one problem: Sam is tired of using his special gifts to defend the universe. All he wants to do is lead a normal life. But when a book containing a series of devastating eternal secrets—one that dates back to King Solomon—is about to fall into the wrong hands, Sam's conscience gets the best of him...and he and his brethren set out to seize The Keys of Solomon and save mankind. But as soon as he answers the "call," Sam realizes that the fallen angels have gained in strength since their last encounter with the Offspring. And now they are on the brink of fulfilling their lethal legacy...

From Publishers WeeklyReaders who believe in angels and enjoy splatter films will best appreciate Jackson's muddled debut thriller, which centers on the never-ending struggle between the fallen angels and the forces of good. Lucifer and his army of allies target four American men from different parts of the country—Sam Conner, Paul Young, Michael Collier and Mark Pierce. As an epidemic of missing children sweeps the U.S., the quartet receive individual messages leading them to Abbotsville, Tenn., where they join forces. Aided by angels of light, the men discover that they are the "Offspring," descendants of both humans and angels, and thus feared by the demons who seek to kill them. Bloody mayhem ensues. (Oct.)
