The world population is hurtling toward nine billion; some say more than the planet can support. Two titanic blocks rule that population – East and West – bound together in a global economy - and a secret, war to the death. Never has so much been at stake, never has the prize of absolute power been more seductive.

And never have the leaders of these titanic blocks been quite so insane. Insane enough to invoke the Son of Hell, to bring the war out of the shadows and fire down from Heaven; and count the dead not in dozens but millions. But in a war where the warriors are not men but robots and drones, how can you know your enemy?

When Mason and Gallin are sent into Ukraine to meet an undercover agent from Moscow, they cannot imagine the maze of deceit, terror and madness they have entered. In a mission that will take them from DC to Kiev, Brussels and ultimately Lithuania and Kaliningrad, Mason and Gallin will be fighting the ultimate war to save humanity from itself... From the Son of Hell.

What truly sets Archer apart in the world of thrillers is his ability to make each page feel like a turning point. His characters are not mere victims or heroes—they are deeply human, shaped by their pasts and their choices. These characters, often caught between right and wrong, guide readers through stories that are as thought-provoking as they are thrilling. Each of his books tackles the idea that the line between good and evil is not always as clear as we like to think.

Archer’s writing style is sharp and direct, often cutting to the heart of a situation with just a few lines of dialogue or a subtle twist. But beyond the page-turning action, his books offer something deeper: a reflection on justice, redemption, and the consequences of our decisions.

Outside of writing, Archer enjoys connecting with his readers and sharing the inspiration behind his stories. For fans of suspense, crime, and moral complexity, David Archer’s books are a must-read—stories that not only entertain but make you think long after the final page has turned.

The world-building feels lived-in and urgent, grounding the adrenaline-fueled plot in realistic, detailed settings that enhance the story’s immersive pull.

For readers drawn to suspenseful, character-driven tales that don’t shy away from moral ambiguity or the darker edges of humanity, this series offers a compelling escape.
