The Long Road From Hell: Phoenix Rise trilogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228806202)

It is often believed that past, present, and future form an inexorable straight line. However, it is perhaps more complex than that. What if past, present, and future instead comprise an infinite loop whose perceived beginning (and indeed direction) is wholly subjective. This story mixes modern-day conflicts with old mythological creatures and their gods into a futuristic science fiction novel.

We follow Az who starts off as an already flawed and half-broken soldier, unwilling to give up and driven to wander through life in search of meaning. He begins at the end of a mission on Earth and is offered a suicide mission to hell. There he encounters a sage of the old world and begins to understand the powers lost and forgotten by mankind.

Journey with him as he learns to cope with his own demons while trying to fight off the denizens of hell. In this book, he begins to question if the mission really means everything to him. After he escapes death, time and time again, hell gives him a reason to fight.
