Book excerpt: In Children of the Gods, Karl, Will, Pierre, and others are plunged straight into a place where nothing is impossible…and where they become pawns for great beings fighting among themselves for ultimate control. A mysterious being known as the Entity, creator of this place, plans to free himself from his forcible exile and reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. To this end, he attempts to put several of the humans under his control. His main rival, Tolzarx, also attempts to take control of several other humans. To the humans, the Entity is akin to a god, and Tolzarx and his fellow beings are not far behind. As the Entity and Tolzarx gear up for a fight, Karl, Will, Pierre, and the other humans attempt to keep their identities and carve out their own place, away from the battle—but eventually they have no choice but to play an integral role in the outcome of the fearsome clash. Will they save themselves and their new home? Or will they kill and be killed in turn? “An expansive and erudite work of fiction. Overflowing with magical powers, strange mysticism, petty gods, and human foibles, Children of the Gods is a bizarre adventure borne from the mind of a uniquely talented author.” Self-Publishing Review
