Michael Spencer went to bed a loving father and husband; he awoke an immortal god.
They arrived from another dimension as friends, assisting humanity out of caves, but as time went on, humans began to fear and worship them. Some of the powerful entities nurtured this fear, while others fought against human enslavement. After a devastating war amongst themselves, the immortal creatures scattered and hid in the shadows of civilization. Until now…
Michael has awakened from a self-induced amnesia in modern day America. He wants nothing more than to be with his human family, but another of his kind has different plans—he wants Michael's help to rule the world. Michael refuses and finds himself in the middle of a conflict between the one that humans now call Satan, and the immortal's eccentric leader who claims to be God. The survival of humanity is at stake, and if Michael fails, not only will his family die, but the prophesized Armageddon will come to fruition.
From Bookviral.com:
"When it comes to originality it doesn’t get any better than Venom of the Gods, an unsettlingly dark debut fantasy novel from author Sebastian Chase that is sure to get tongues wagging. An imaginative telling that confidently eschews well-worn clichés, it is clever in its narration and decidedly graphic by design, with Chase masterfully weaving the required elements of drama and suspense that make for the most compelling reads. Essentially a reimagining of prevailing noir fiction and supernatural fantasy, Chase has looked to vampire and angel mythos for his inspiration. Creating characters that resonate with bloody luminosity, he combines the best aspects of action-orientated thrillers with the supernatural and the result is a chilling tale that will linger long after the last page is turned. This alone is a reason to start reading, but it is the authenticity with which Chase imbues Michael that ultimately makes the grade. Creating a truly original and compelling protagonist. With an intelligent and competently executed plot, Venom of the Gods is a hugely entertaining read that bodes well for future releases from author Sebastian Chase. It is highly recommended!"
