Offspring (Offspring Trilogy) Book

Sam Connor has always had a unique relationship with his guardian angel. But his uncanny sense of perception has been in overdrive as of late, and for good reason---he’s being followed by a man he knows is trying to kill him.
            And that’s not all Sam senses. Abductions and grisly attacks are blanketing America in what seems to be a calculated and epic crime wave. And while Sam can’t explain it, he knows that somehow he’s supposed to do something about it.
            Deeply rooted in both contemporary and nonconventional religious history and doctrine, Offspring’s world is one like ours---but it’s populated by guardian and fallen angels, malevolent demonic entities, and vile human thralls. Only high school aged--Sam and the other Offspring of angels and men have the ability and power to close the veil through which mankind’s vicious enemies are coming. But will they understand their inheritance in time? Sam’s fate and the world’s---and the gathering traction of the Fallen Angels---is in his hands. And to make matters worse for Sam and his growing band of brothers, a pact now exists between the Fallen and their allies:  Destroy the Offspring.
            As Sam and three other Offspring are inexplicably drawn to a small Tennessee town, they find themselves hunted by these ancient, near-omnipotent, and lethal enemies. Jackson’s heart-pounding debut supernatural thriller blows to its climactic conclusion when the Offspring must understand their unique inheritance and control their surprising strengths before it’s  too late.

“Offspring buzzes with unearthy adrenaline; it reeks of brimstone and burned rubber. A meticulously crafted chess game of supernatural suspense, Offspring is a page-turner of the highest order. Jackson has an epic storyteller’s eye for sensory detail, while his narrative moves from set piece to set piece like a diabolical Rube Goldberg machine. This one really cooks. Absolute highest recommendation.”--Jay Bonansinga, author of Frozen, The Killer’s Game, and Oblivion
 
“Jackson’s classic good-versus-evil story takes us through an exciting biblical battle between angels and demons. An intense, violent, and suspenseful adventure set against a landscape of stark possibilities and doom, drawing the readers in with a cast of interesting characters and larger-than-life events. A thrilling read to the end!”--Raymond K. Wong, author of The Pacific Between

Readers who believe in angels and enjoy splatter films will best appreciate Jackson's muddled debut thriller, which centers on the never-ending struggle between the fallen angels and the forces of good. Lucifer and his army of allies target four American men from different parts of the country Sam Conner, Paul Young, Michael Collier and Mark Pierce. As an epidemic of missing children sweeps the U.S., the quartet receive individual messages leading them to Abbotsville, Tenn., where they join forces. Aided by angels of light, the men discover that they are the "Offspring," descendants of both humans and angels, and thus feared by the demons who seek to kill them. Bloody mayhem ensues. (Oct.)
