PadreRaised from Death
Back from the dead. Back to kick Hell’s ass!
Ex-SAS trooper Alex Carter, bare-knuckle fighter, army padre, and terrorist killer, is back from the dead to fight again.
The Beast has returned, Nazi occult terrorists have called forth their own hideous god, and Alex’s best friend’s children have been kidnapped. Oh, and a kid-shaped demon ate his soul.
Time is running out and Alex is the only one who can lead a crack team of SAS troopers into the gathering darkness and kill a god. If he doesn’t? All Hell, and a whole lot worse, will break loose …
Raised from Death is the second book in the Padre series. Perfect for fans of Jonathan Maberry, Stephen Leather, Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Guy N. Smith, and F. Paul Wilson.

David J Gatward was born in Bristol and grew up in the Cotswolds, Wensleydale, and Lincolnshire, before heading off to the Lake District to train in outdoor education.
Having failed to realise on reading the prospectus that this meant being in a school classroom and not just climbing mountains, he graduated and went straight into publishing.
His first book was published when he was 18. Since then, he has written numerous books for children and adults, both under his own name and as a ghost writer. He was winner of the Leeds Children’s Book Award, and was short-listed for the 2023 Kindle Storyteller Award.
David now lives in Somerset and is constantly amazed by how his life has turned out.
