Here’s the set-up for Rex Jameson’s Lucifer’s Odyssey, just 99 Cents on Kindle Until Jan. 1:
Lucifer languishes in an earthly prison, awaiting the apocalypse that will finally free him after 200,000 years. Before breaking loose, he discovers that the armageddon he set in motion will destroy the capital of Chaos, his home universe.
He travels back to Chaos and stumbles upon a bloody civil war devastating his homeland. The realm’s magic wielders are firmly under the control of a rival clan, and without their protection, Lucifer’s family is in mortal peril. As old demon clan rivalries blossom and a new hostile universe expands across the known multiverse, Lucifer is faced with not only protecting Chaos from annihilation but also saving his rightful place on the throne.
Lucifer’s Odyssey is the first book in the Primal Patterns series, an episodic glimpse into an alternate multiverse where many of our biblical histories and fables are premonitions of upcoming conflicts between immortals with god-like powers over truth and shadow. The sequel, The Goblin Rebellion, is set to debut in February.
Length: 85,000 words (350 pages)
Electronic versions on sale at $0.99 until January 1, 2012.
From the reviewers:
Rex Jameson does a wonderful job telling this story in a completely unexpected way. Lucifer is a good character and while I didn’t really relate to him much (he is still a bit of a sociopath at times) there are parts where it is easy to sympathize with his problems. – Rex
An interesting perspective on Lucifer, it’s not irreligious but it is completely different from the Christian worldview. The sci-fi fantasy themes drew me into this book right away. It contains magic, immortals, and complex relationships. A bit of a classical mythology spin (gods and goddesses are related and have family issues) combined with speculative/alternative history. An interesting read. I look forward to the next book. – Arador
Never in a million years did I think I’d be rooting for Lucifer! This book has a whole new take on the relationships between Lucifer, Michael, Jehovah and the rest of the gang. Lucifer, by the way, is the Crown Prince of Chaos and he’s stuck on Earth. This was an amazing story. – D.M. Lawrence
