Gabe

Gabe is the fourth book in The Balance series - a collection of paranormal thrillers dealing with the unseen world of balancing powers. Too often life is viewed in terms of good and evil, black or white, and the balance point tipping in either direction is ignored. Why should the afterlife be any different? We are given a choice when we die to move on to the Source, stay on earth and slowly evolve into more of what we were (good people become angels and bad people become demons), or a chosen few can work to keep the Balance between them. The title character Gabe is such a warrior who works to maintain that balance. Zeus has moved on to the Source and left his friends behind to cope and heal as best they can. Gabe still carries the darkness that Ammit left inside him during her battle with the Balance. The darkness has brought the anger of his passing and the loss of his wife Cassy bubbling to the surface where it boils, threatening to consume him. Harmony requests that Gabe purge himself of his darkness before she loses him as a soldier. Gabe asks his old friend and parolee Lucifer to aid him in his personal quest, while Grey helps the Lone Riders and Dante search for their missing leader Bulldog. The novel is written in two styles. Each chapter begins in a soliloquy from the title character Gabe, where he tells pieces of his backstory intertwined with philosophical musings on his family, friends, life and dealing with loss, with the following bulk of the chapter told in a third person narrative.
