Age of Blood

"Ochse's novel attempts to blend the military fiction of Tom Clancy with the supernatural horror of early Stephen King. It shouldn't work, but it does." — Booklist When a Senator's daughter is kidnapped by a mysterious group with ties to the supernatural . . . it's clearly a job for SEAL TEAM 666. As Triple Six gets involved, they discover links to the Zeta Cartel, a newly discovered temple beneath Mexico City, and a group known as Followers of the Flayed One. International politics, cross-border narco-terrorism, and an insidious force operating inside the team soon threaten to derail the mission. Forced to partner with several militant ex-patriots and a former Zeta hitman-turned-skinwalker, Triple Six is the world's only hope to stop the return of the Age of Blood. "A great fast read and in many ways superior to the first novel . . . If you are tired of authors mining the same territory, this is the kind of book that will jolt you with all sorts of new in your face thrills." — Fangoria "The good guys knife, shoot and explode Zeta gunmen, chupacabra, giant albino snakes and 7-foot obsidian butterflies called chacmools. Ochse has hit on a new subgenre: military special ops battling supernatural enemies." — Kirkus Reviews
