(23,194 posts)An evil bishop wields the Spear of Destiny.
Wicked magicians are raising an army of the damned.
Our only hope—five fucked-up friars and their dog. God help us all.
Fr. Dylan has spent his entire adult life ducking responsibility. As far as he’s concerned, there’s no problem so big that a bong hit or two can’t fix.
But when the Spear of Destiny threatens every living soul and an army of the damned begins to gather on his doorstep, Dylan has to admit he’s met his match.
Then, when the Blackfriars’ prior disappears, all eyes turn to Dylan to lead them. Dylan can either step up or allow unspeakable evil to grind everything innocent and good underfoot…
The Power is the second book in the Berkeley Blackfriars series, but it is a standalone adventure and can be enjoyed all on its own. If you love supernatural suspense laced with humor and danger, you’ll love J.R. Mabry’s Berkeley Blackfriars' books. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Preacher, The Dresden Files, and the Mercy Thompson series will thrill to this new paranormal fantasy adventure.

I had read the first volume: "The Kingdom" a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. This is one wild group of religious professionals.
Last week I read a short little satire "Twits In Peril" a ridiculously silly take off on upper crust British society in a steampunk setting . It was just what I needed at the time.

Those who know me will tell you I have a weakness for gambling. My valet, Bentley, has often had to speak to me about it. Bentley, however was at home.
Cyril's old friends Ford and Lincoln wager that he can't survive living like an average citizen for a week. Cyril attempts to blend in with the crush of humanity but without Bentley's help he soon finds himself embroiled in one misunderstanding after another.
“Tom Robbins’ Twits stories are hilarious, thought provoking and mind bending. He takes his lovable boobs on adventures that teach them truth and honor while giving us giggles, romance and even social justice. His juicy turns of phrase will stick in your ear like a catchy song."-
