“We saved the world today.” Gretchen’s eyes were shining and I was lost in them. It felt good.
I squeezed Gretchen’s hand and finally looked away to Lucifer. “Uncle Lew, come on. You’re telling me with magic Spears, Fiery Swords, and Bon Jovi, that there isn’t some Fountain of fucking Youth? No magic golden calf we can stroke off to live forever? No Holy Grail? I mean even if we have to find the Ark of the Covenant first then some magic stones in India…”
“Temporal chronologically,” Gretchen interjected, “Temple of Doom comes first, then Raiders, then Last Crusade.”
“I’m just saying,” I looked to Lucifer, “you’re telling me there’s not a loophole for eternal life or immortality or shit that she and I can exploit? Cause if we live forever, the Will isn’t going to happen, is it?”
It is a simple fact. The best parts of my plans are the ones I make up on the spot.
Lucifer smiled.

What stands between humanity and the battle of Armageddon? A sword.
But not just any sword - the Fiery Sword that guarded the Gates of Eden after humanity was kicked out. Before the flood, it was stolen by the 23rd Demon kicked from heaven, who eventually married and imbued it into her human son. But now she'd dead, and it's starting to manifest.Humanity's only hope? Nick Decker, a scotch-swilling PI armed with a .45 and the Wrath of God, his nerdy ninja-stripper girlfriend Gretchen, and his loyal acid-dropping, street-doc, war-buddy Jammer.
When you do a job for Hell, Heaven expects the same.
When Archangel Gabrielle shows up at the door of Decker Investigations offering some kick-ass cars in exchange for a job, Nick takes it just to keep the peace. But finding the Spear of Destiny while dealing with the Teutonic Knight hit teams and Douchebag Demon Worshiping Academics is a tall order.
Good thing Nick and Jammer's old buddy Switch is in town.
Imprisoned for over a thousand years by the Diveneans of old, Lord Balthazar covets one thing: his freedom. Using his minion, Isafel, and an evil imp spawn called Ilio, they will search Etharia for the one thing that will set their master free and bring chaos to the lands—the Kruthos Key.With underlords scheming to take the throne and demons roaming freely throughout the land, it's a race against time. But one Divenean still lives, and with the help of an ex-General there may be hope left. But is it enough?
Sherman Lancaster has lived 119 years, and the only thing he fears is living 119 more.
Sherman's great-grandsons Piper and Sebastian are coming to stay with him, and they think it's because their mother can't afford daycare. But Sherman knows the truth: One of the boys will become his apprentice.
Sherman Lancaster lives by a simple code to which there are no exceptions:
The Guilty Must Pay.
