When elementary school teacher Mike Vargas and his loyal therapy dog, St. Bernard Tender, thwart a deadly school shooting, they are thrust into a terrifying mystery that transcends human comprehension. Detective Owens's relentless investigation uncovers a trail leading to the burial place of Christ. Beneath it lies an unspeakable power, one capable of tearing apart the boundary between Hell and Earth, threatening to usher in the premature end of the world. As the duo grapples with unthinkable forces, they are joined by a Catholic assassin with a divine mandate to eliminate fallen angels and their monstrous progeny. Together, they face super-luminary dimensions, ancient secrets, talismans of unimaginable power, and the looming specter of nuclear war. At the heart of it all stands Abaddon, one of Heaven's most formidable angels, wielding the keys to the Pit and bent on sabotaging God's plan to reconcile justice with humanity. In a battle of righteousness against the ultimate evil, Mike, Tender, and their allies must confront the horrors of Hell and the age-old question of fate versus free will. Can this unlikely group, led by an unassuming teacher and his gentle, two-hundred-pound companion, tip the scales in favor of love and redemption? Brace yourself for a relentless journey of action, horror, and divine reckoning in Abaddon. Will humanity survive the ultimate test-or will the world be lost to the abyss forever?
