by Nick Mamatas (Author)
Highlander meets Seven in Nick Mamatas's Sabbath, the story of a legendary warrior who dies in battle, wakes up in the present day, and is tasked with hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins.
The infamous eleventh-century warrior Hexen Sabbath is plucked from death and certain damnation by a being claiming to be an angel of the Lord, and finds himself dropped into contemporary Manhattan with no clothes, no weapons, no resources, and one mission--to track down and kill the living personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins before they bring about Armageddon. With time running out and his only ally a destitute art gallery owner, Sabbath must fight his way through New York's elite and challenge the world's most powerful man, or an eternity of suffering will be his, and our, only reward.Author Biography
