The Desolation War


Custodians of the Cosmos: Book 3

The thrilling conclusion to The Custodians of the Cosmos trilogy!

Rachel Blackburn is back, and she’s more powerful – and terrifying – than ever.

She’s now one of the Lightbringers, an ancient race of cosmic beings dedicated to “saving” the Omniverse from the ravenous Gyre by absorbing it into themselves piece by piece.

But Rachel doesn’t give a damn about the Lightbringers’ mission.

She intends to use her new powers to get revenge on the two Maintenance agents who stopped her from activating the Atrocity Engine – Neal Hudson and Gina Sandoval. And when she’s finished with them, she’s going to destroy Brother Nothing and the entire Multitude.

To complicate matters further, Neil and Gina find themselves trapped on a devastated parallel Earth overrun with Aberrants – and where a Kaiju-sized version of Teguzilla lives.

If they don’t find a way to win this war, they won’t have a home to return to.

Time to roll up their sleeves and get to work . . . one last time.

Men in Black meets Hellraiser in this rollicking mash-up of urban fantasy and cosmic horror from four-time Bram Stoker Award-Winning author Tim Waggoner.

Creatures from dark dimensions infesting your home? Demonic beings trying to drive you insane? Alien gods attempting to destroy your universe?

Just call Maintenance.

This underpaid and overworked secret organization is dedicated to battling forces that seek to speed up Entropy and hasten the Omniverse’s inevitable death.

Neal Hudson is a twenty-year veteran of Maintenance. A surveyor who drives through the streets of Ash Creek, Ohio constantly scanning for the deadly energy known as Corruption. Since the death of his previous partner, Neal prefers to work alone, and he’s not happy when he’s assigned to mentor a rookie.

But they better learn to get along fast.

The Multitude, a group of godlike beings who seek to increase Entropy at every opportunity, are creating an Atrocity Engine. This foul magical device can destroy the Earth, and they don’t care how many innocent lives it takes to build it. (Spoiler alert: It’s a lot!)

Just another day on the job. . . .
