Infernal Games: A Templar Chronicles Novel
New York Times and USA Today bestseller Joseph Nassise delivers another "tour-de-force of adrenaline-drenched mayhem" in the 4th book of the action-packed Templar Chronicles urban fantasy series.
The war with the Chiang Shih is over but the Templars have paid a high price for victory. Even the Echo Team has not escaped unscathed, its commander returned a changed man with his thirst for vengeance quenched, but his spirit broken.
It is the moment Simon Logan, the Necromancer has been waiting for. A daring prison break allows him to escape Templar control and vanish into the night. Newly promoted Captain Riley and the reformed Echo Team are given the job of tracking him down. But rather than waiting for Echo to come looking for him, the Necromancer takes the battle to them instead; luring former Commander Williams away from his home and stealing the physical form of his wife, Gabrielle, a woman caught somewhere between life and death.
It is perhaps the one act that could rouse Cade from the grey haze his life has become. As he ruthlessly tracks the Necromancer through this world and the next, Cade can't help but ask himself what Logan might want with a half-dead woman and the man who had literally traveled to hell and back to rescue her..
Interview with the Author
Q: What makes the Templar Chronicles series so interesting?
A: It's a combination of things, in my view. The series features modern Templar Knights acting as a secret combat squad for the Vatican, protecting mankind from supernatural threats and enemies. It is part urban fantasy series, part paranormal mystery series, and part supernatural or occult crime series. Think SWAT meets Supernatural mixed with The Walking Dead and you've got it in one!
Q: Is there a particular order that the book should be read in?
A: While each book can stand alone as a complete order, I do think readers will get more enjoyment out of them if they follow this sequence:
- The Heretic
- A Scream of Angels
-The Hungry Dark (eNovella #2)
-A Tear in the Sky
- Infernal Games
- Judgment Day
- Fall of Night
If readers want a bit more back story before the events of The Heretic, they can also read Shades of Blood and Darkness (eNovella #1).
What makes the series different from other urban fantasy series?
A: First, it is a bit darker in tone than many of the other popular UF series. For instance, while the humor in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files or Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles is often light and comical, the humor in the Templar Chronicles often has a much blacker edge to it. Second, many of the storylines in the Templar series feature action-oriented combat sequences similar to those in the Monster Hunter International or Jane Yellowrock series and this isn't typical for most urban fantasy. Third, unlike many other series on the market today, there isn't much romance here; if you want your hero or heroine hooking up with a hot vampire or shifter, you've definitely come to the wrong place.
To help readers know what the Templar Chronicles are like, what would you compare them to?
A: I think the series is well-suited for fans of the series already mentioned above, as well as those readers who like Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson seires, Kat Richardson's Greywalker series, and Seanan McGuire's October Daye series. Fans of television shows like Supernatural, Grimm, Constantine, True Blood, and Penny Dreadful should also find something of interest here.
