But wash away the bloodstains and you'll surprisingly find yourself clobbered by camaraderie and heart." - <strong>Warren Hammond, author of the KOP series and <em>Denver Moon</em></strong></p><p>"Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of heart. <em>The Hammer Falls</em> will have you praying Ridley Scott gives this one a home on the silver screen. He and Heermann are the only two capable of delivering the perfect balance of gladiatorial action and high-stakes science fiction." - <strong>Joshua Viola, award-winning editor of <em>Nightmares Unhinged</em> and <em>Cyber World</em></strong></p><p>"A body slam of high-tech mayhem... Travis Heermann delivers one gut punch after another in this science-fiction TKO." - <strong>Mario Acevedo, author of the Felix Gomez detective vampire series</strong></p><p>"There are books that pack a punch, and then there's <em>The Hammer Falls</em>. With pugilistic, pit-fighting ferocity-and a surprising human core-Travis Heermann throws science fiction into the squared circle and watches it writhe in excitement. Grab a ringside seat and hold on tight." <strong>- Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning author of <em>Strange Stars</em> and editor of <em>Cyber World</em></strong></p><p>"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. THE HAMMER FALLS reads like pure pulp--but like Philip Jos� Farmer, Dashiell Hammett, and the other pulp masters, Heermann brings real heart and depth to his characters. Amidst the heavy-hitting violence, there's care and comedy and endearing sacrifice. Do not miss this book." - <strong>J.L. Forrest, author of the Songs at the End of the World series</strong></p><br>
