Grab a ringside seat and hold on tight." - Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning author of Strange Stars and editor of Cyber World "Travis Heermann's THE HAMMER FALLS is a raucous, entertaining, action-packed riot. Like his characters, Heermann punches hard from beginning to end, a skilled storyteller who knows exactly what he's doing.
