Advance praise for The Hammer Falls "A body slam of high-tech mayhem..." "Delivers one gut punch after another in this science-fiction TKO." The next time he dies... ... will be the last. Can he save the woman he loves before his heart gives out for good? Horace "The Hammer" Harkness is a gene-modified pit fighter twenty years past his prime. He loves the life of screaming fans and thundering theme music, but too many injuries and resurrections have wrecked his heart. If he loses one more match, game over. Now his big comeback is in deep, deep trouble. If he fails, how will he repay all the money he borrowed to finance this fiasco? In a world of blood-drenched circuses and fleeting fame, can a battered pit fighter outsmart the Russian mob before they exact revenge on Lilly? Or will he die trying? If you love stories with with high-tech weapons, high-stakes action, snarky ninjas, and a touch of romance, you'll love The Hammer Falls! ________________________________ "Take WWE and MMA, amp the violence to a bone-breaking, body-busting eleven, and you've got The Hammer Falls. But wash away the bloodstains and you'll surprisingly find yourself clobbered by camaraderie and heart." - Warren Hammond, author of the KOP series and Denver Moon "Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of heart. The Hammer Falls will have you praying Ridley Scott gives this one a home on the silver screen. He and Heermann are the only two capable of delivering the perfect balance of gladiatorial action and high-stakes science fiction." - Joshua Viola, award-winning editor of Nightmares Unhinged and Cyber World "A body slam of high-tech mayhem and social justice. Travis Heermann delivers one gut punch after another in this science-fiction TKO." - Mario Acevedo, author of the Felix Gomez detective vampire series "There are books that pack a punch, and then there's The Hammer Falls. With pugilistic, pit-fighting ferocity--and a surprising human core--Travis Heermann throws science fiction into the squared circle and watches it writhe in excitement. Grab a ringside seat and hold on tight." - Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning author of Strange Stars and editor of Cyber World Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I read/listened to "The Hammer Falls' in Audible narrated most excellently by Charles Kahlenberg, more on him later.
I would encourage you, my fellow readers, to get this book in whatever format that you prefer, hardcopy, ebook, or audio.
In "The Hammer Falls" Heermann gives readers a finely woven tapestry of a story that balances action and exposition.
The author does a superb job of world building and character development.
For those of you that prefer to read this book by eye, you can skip this next bit as it's going to focus on the narrator and audio production values of the book.
Mr. Kahlenberg does a fantastic job of bringing the story and characters to life. His delivery puts me in mind of old time radio dramas of the golden age of radio.
As a long time patron of the Talking Book service provided by the Library Of Congress National Library Service, I can personally attest that the choice of a narrator is VITAL to the success of a book as a not so good narrator can destroy a "reader's" enjoyment of a book. Mr. Kahlenberg was a fabulous choice to narrate this book. Other Talking Book patrons will recognize the following as very high praise for Mr. Kahlenberg. Mr. Kahlenberg's narration of "The Hammer Falls" is on a par with that of Bob Askey.
Q: Can Horace survive long enough to save Lilly and the kids?
A: Grab this book and find out!!
In the interest of transparency: I was given a free review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
It is my own honest opinion. (
