The Sleeping Giant

By L Jay Goodson

History calls it World War II. For the immortals walking among us, it is a desperate stand against annihilation.

When the bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, Corporal Archie Ruadair appears to be an ordinary GI in the U.S. Army, but beneath the uniform lies an ancient soul wielding a secret, emerald-flamed blade. Reborn into mortal flesh as Archie, the ancient guardian Sundra Redoak has fought across millennia to shield mankind. But this war is unlike any other. Behind the marching Axis war machine and the occult terrors of the Third Reich lurks Tukdra, his corrupt brother intent on wiping humanity from existence.

As darkness covers the globe, Archie's scattered, reincarnated kin rally across every shadow front. In London, nurses armed with ancient barriers and healing auras fight to rescue civilian lives from the rubble of the Blitz. Over North Africa, an ancient wind spirit joins the Tuskegee Airmen to prove his valor against fascist fighters and military prejudice alike. At Bletchley Park, hidden nature spirits masquerade as brilliant cryptographers to build machines capable of breaking enemy codes. Meanwhile, in occupied France, Archie leads the Red Oak Raiders, an elite strike team of reborn champions dropping behind enemy lines to hunt down Nazi occult weapons.

When a perilous infiltration into a Bavarian mountain fortress shatters the company, grief fuels a dangerous new reckoning. Driven by vengeance and armed with a high-tech exosuit forged in Atlantis, Emma steps forward to face Tukdra's deadliest enforcer, the flame-wielding assassin Ember, in a brutal clash of technology, fire, and ancient secrets among the ruins of London.

With forbidden All-Fire unleashed upon the world and the dawn of the atomic age threatening total destruction, Archie's immortal family faces a terrifying question:

Can even gods survive the horrors of modern warfare?

The chronicle continues in The Sleeping Giant, the explosive sixth installment of the Redoak Saga.
