Armageddon Bound - Demon Squad book 1

Half-devil and miles from anything resembling heroic, perpetual underdog Frank "Triggaltheron" Trigg is the last man standing against Armageddon.

As the favorite nephew of the Devil, Frank has led a troubled life, but he'd always had his uncle's influence to fall back on. Now, with God and Lucifer coming to terms and leaving existence to fend for itself, his once exalted status of Anti-Christ-to-be does little to endear him to the hordes of angels and demons running amok in the Godless world.

With help from the members of DRAC, an organization of wizards, psychics, telepaths, and low-end supernatural beings, Frank must thwart the pro-Armageddon forces and rescue an angel in whose life rests the fate of humanity.

Better luck next time, humanity.

Excerpt:

I could see the strain in Scarlett's eyes, their perfect green suffering from the loss of her Lord; herself. Her hand shook as it clutched the pommel of her sword, her knuckles white. I could see the tenseness in her shoulders, the quivering of her lip. Under the circumstances, I did what any gentleman would do for a woman whose whole world, whose life, whose very existence was crumbling down around her.

I changed the subject.

"Trigg isn't just a breath of fresh air, he is a damn hurricane, and he certainly swept me off my feet. It didn't take long for him to become my favorite underdog ever, despite all his flaws." ~ Maja

"Brutal and dark with an uncompromising flair, this is a book that is less like a fine wine and more like a shot of mid-shelf whiskey; quickly ingested, delivering an enjoyable and satisfying taste, while leaving the consumer with a thirst for more." ~ Ryan

"There is a lot of action in this book, and Marquitz does a very good job at keeping it clear and focused without lots of 'telling.' I also enjoyed the personality of Frank Trigg, who, while hardly an angel (part-demon, actually, and at times all-libido), has his limits, and knows when it's time to take a stand against impossible odds. I expect I'll very much enjoy the following books in the series." ~ Gary W. Olson

"This being a debut novel, I tried really hard to find something wrong with the book, either in the author's approach or mechanics, or in the story itself. The book won. 5/5." ~ Lincoln Crisler

"This book turned out be another excellent, surprise read for me and was easily one of the best debuts I have ever read recently. If Tim Marquitz continues to improve upon his writing, I can see a bright future for him; for the many readers who are always on the lookout for the next breakout series, the Demon Squad IMHO is the answer for all you folks." ~ Mihir Wanchoo

"Witty, sarcastic and hilarious. I thought I had bad days, but Frank Triggaltheron has the worst as demons, angels and his succubus ex-wife try to kill him at every turn. A very enjoyable story with erotic undertones. I was intrigued by the imaginative and descriptive writing style." ~ Michelle

"Readers looking for nonstop action, a good versus evil struggle where the lines between good and evil are so blurred as to be almost nonexistent, and well-drawn, interesting, and offbeat characters may wish to give Armageddon Bound a shot. I'm glad I did, because it was definitely a good time." ~ Bobby

ARMAGEDDON BOUND is an excellent start to the Demon Squad series! The fast pace and non-stop action keep the reader on edge as the tension quickly mounts. The characters are fascinating as I hope we see more of Trigg, Scarlett, and the members of DRAC in the future. Bravo! ~ Debbie

If you're in the mood for something light, that will keep you turning pages from the very first, Armageddon Bound is right up your alley. If you liked the Dresden Files, you will have a good time with this one as well. ~ Bryce

I thought the book was more urban than urbane, more ribald than refined, but Armageddon Bound was a fun read. And that was enough for me. ~ Gef Fox
