Glass shards dance about excitedly, as bullets blaze passed Karol Shult’s shoulder. Lying perfectly still on the floor more terrified of the phone ringing in her pocket than the murderous thugs shooting indiscriminately from outside the window, Karol takes the call only to find out she’s not being paid for this job. What was supposed to be a quick hit and an easy payday turns out to be a thankless skirmish... no matter, Karol always finishes the job. Money, however, is not something from which the young assassin can so easily walk away. Shult, Karol’s family of assassins, tracks down Hituuri, Karol’s dead beat client, in a small town less than four hours from their estate. Overly eager to pay him a visit, Karol comes to town only to find Hituuri buying shots at a bar. With no way to answer for his bounced check, Karol squeezes the trigger taking Hituuri’s life as payment. Thinking her day is over; Karol takes ease, until a big ass Siddian mothership pulls across the sky blocking out the sun brandishing a weapon capable of destroying the city. Completely caught off guard, Karol begs Erika, her master and confidant to get her out of the city. When Erika reveals the payday this new threat presents, however, Karol’s cowardice turns to bravery. With dollar signs flashing in her eyes, Karol summons the indomitable strength to do whatever it takes to bring the alien menace to its knees. With action scenes that pay homage to R. A. Salvatore, a story as massive as World of Warcraft, and characters as memorable as Die Hard’s John McClane, Rapture of Worlds is a sci-fi epic intended for a mature audience but intriguing to readers of all ages.
