Vigilante Mike Spears, hunter of human and paranormal monsters, heads to the American northwest where ordinary folks are caught in the crossfire of corrupt lawmen, a world-walking techno-Aztec hit squad, and a killer cryptid who may be Spears's match in cunning. It's the second entry in the best-selling American Paladin series from Dragon Award-winner and New York Times best seller Larry Correia.
Walker of Worlds
Rumors of murdered witnesses draw Mike Spears north into the mountains of Idaho and Montana where a corrupt lawman may be doing a drug cartel’s bloody work. At first it seems a case of ordinary human evil—the kind Spears usually handles adeptly and within his own harsh code of justice. But then Spears attracts the attention of a spy for the Kultec, the blood-soaked techno-Aztec empire reaching into our world from another reality. And as the hunter becomes the hunted, Spears senses something enormous moving through the forests of the Northwest—one of the world-walking tribes behind the Bigfoot legends. But this world-walker may be a killer of men.
Welcome to the dark places of the modern American west—a west where mythic worlds roam the landscape like so many weather fronts. And as those fronts collide, horror spills forth. When the last shred of hope is nearly spent, there’s one man who will step into that darkness—and deal with it. Mike Spears. The man they call Paladin.
“Mike Spears is the quintessential Larry Correia hero—tough, flawed, and locked n’ loaded. The modern master of firearms and fantasy is back again, with another tale that the woke and the weak would never dare write. American Paladin is a wild ride, with no apologies, one in the chamber, and the safety off.”—Kurt Schlichter, Townhall senior columnist, best-selling author of the People's Republic series
“Intense action scenes, evil in horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and human beings faced with gut-wrenching moral choices.” —Jim Butcher
“Burdened by knowledge and the scars of a life-changing incident in his teens, Spears accepts the mantle that nobody else wants, and commits himself to killing things that nobody else can. . . . At great personal cost and with heavy sacrifice he commits himself to a life of labor and loneliness, and every successful mission makes the world a better place.”—The Federalist
“A refreshing world of elusive cryptids, mysterious lands, and conspiracy-minded schizos trying to make sense of it all. Its magic and monsters feel genuinely eerie, and its hero stands out by being capable but entirely uncredentialed. . . . Fans of cryptid lore should get a kick out of this working hero in America’s lonely places.”—David Hines, Daily Wire
“It’s like a Jack Reacher or a Terminal List novel, only you're fighting ancient demons in control of the Aztec Empire who appear in America. A boots-on-the-ground, gritty, thriller feel, plus the urban fantasy feel where we're hunting demons and monsters.” —iSamwise Reviews
“Will delight fans of action horror.”—Publishers Weekly
“Part science fiction, part horror, and an absolute blast to read.”—Bookreporter.com
