Free Ebook: Mighty Hammer Down

Mighty Hammer Down, by David J. Guyton, is available in PDF format for FREE ($0.99 on Kindle, $10.99 in Paperback).

This one is direct from the author; simply email him at d [AT] davidjguyton [DOT] com (just substitute the proper punctuation in the address) and he'll send you a PDF copy. All he asks in return is that if you like it, write a short review on amazon.com. Just getting reviews and readers can be difficult for self-published authors (and Amazon won't let them give their books away for free, unlike the larger publishing houses), so I'd expect more deals like this from independent authors in the future. If you'd prefer to get a copy already formatted for your Kindle (or don't want to write a short review), it's still a bargain at $0.99. I picked this up a while back at $1.59, which I considered quite a bargain then, and it's gotten quite a few good reviews on Kindleboards and Amazon.

Synopsis

A longstanding peace is about to be shattered by villains in the shadows of Medora. They conspire with distant nations to cripple the western Empire and spread their venom eastward. In their secretive attempt, they stumble across the power to slay Arius, the god of war, and replace him with a human puppet. That mission fails however, and they not only pave the path for the seven gods to walk the earth, but create a god of war who is bent on their destruction. He clumsily learns to use his powers and hones them into a powerful weapon to wield against the Mages and their twisted vision of society. In the chaos, a great war ignites and threatens all nations and cultures.

Rommus has no idea that he has become the new god of war. He also has no idea that his companion Alana is responsible for the assassination attempt on his father, the General of the Medoran army. While the Medoran Legions head east to aid the Vindyri in their battle against the oppressive Bhoors, Rommus follows the visions he sees in his dreams, pulling him north towards the Land of the Gods. Along the way they meet a strange man named Vohl who claims to be immortal, and the three of them end up before the golden throne of the great god Oderion. But Rommus refuses to be like the uncaring gods, and quickly makes six very powerful enemies.

In all of this mayhem, the small flames of the old magic roar to mighty infernos; burning some and lighting the way for others. Great beasts now walk the earth again, and the gods themselves have come down to influence the world of man once more. But the new god of war is not interested in their agenda, and instead joins the battle on the Vindyri planes. He fights with all his might for the freedom of mankind, struggling to bring light to the coming darkness.
