Description
On the run from the most violent mobster in town, Thomas Marks takes a job driving a mysterious boy halfway across the country. The boy is promising him enough money to settle his debts…but at what cost? The boy carries a jar filled with his brother's ashes and claims they are the key to protecting all of mankind. He says that a terrible war is on the horizon -- an epic battle between good and evil that will affect the entire planet. When the mobster who's been leaving a trail of corpses in his wake shows up possessed with an otherworldly strength and demands the ashes, Thomas is forced to choose between helping the boy…and saving his own life. ***Reader Praise For ASHES*** "Mr. Best took a classic tale of good versus evil and made it fresh and surprising." - Klassik59 "…the many settings are so delightfully detailed, and the observations of the human condition are so mature and insightful that this story will not be found wanting by seasoned readers of the genre." - redeyedreader "For a first time novelist, the writer does an excellent job describing the scenes, the characters, and the emotions and leaves the reader wanting more." - Amanda "Author Sam Best manages to weave a compelling tale filled with likable and relatable characters while keeping a story filled with spiritual themes from becoming too predictable or hokey. In fact, the novel is downright brutal at points, another factor that reminded me in ways of Stephen King's work. King, and now Best, have a knack for painting a picture of a spiritual evil that is absolutely merciless." - Santa Monica Jim
