American Paladin

When a true-crime podcaster opens a door between worlds, legendary vigilante Mike Spears must stop an apocalyptic invasion of the American West—from Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling creator of Monster Hunter International.

One Man to Step into Darkness

Mike Spears is a vigilante, an expert in taking down the evil in our world one monstrous incursion at a time. He’s a man with a name only whispered in legend and only spoken aloud in desperate straits. 

Welcome to the dark places of the modern American west—a west where mythic worlds roam the landscape like so many weather fronts. And when those fronts collide, horror spills out. Blood-soaked ground. Vanished neighbors. When the last shred of hope is nearly spent, there’s one man who will step into that darkness—and deal with it. 

 Now a true-crime podcaster is closing in on the truth about Spears and the strange world he navigates, but she’s accidentally drawn something demonic through the door between worlds—a kill team from another deeply twisted reality. And, if Spears is right, these techno-Aztec operators are only the tip of an apocalyptic invasion set to bathe our land in blood. 

 But first they’ll have to get past Spears.
