Heroes and Villains is the first short story from award-winning
novelist Ray Keating, and it ranks as another exciting thriller. Stephen Grant,
pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on Long Island, a former Navy SEAL and
onetime CIA operative, must confront violence springing from a toxic mixture of
pop culture and ideological extremism.
Of
course, many people think of Grant as a hero. At various times defending the
Christian Church and the United States over the years, he has journeyed across
the nation and around the world. But now Grant finds himself in an entirely
unfamiliar setting – a comic book, science fiction and fantasy convention.
But he still joins forces with a unique set of heroes in an attempt to foil a
villainous plot against one of the all-time great comic book writers and
artists.
Heroes
and Villains: A Pastor Stephen Grant Short Story comes
on the heels of Keating’s just-released Reagan Country: A
Pastor Stephen Grant Novel,
which takes readers on a wild ride from the Reagan Presidential Library in
California to the White House to a Russian Orthodox monastery to the Kremlin,
while also providing a salute to the legacy of Ronald Reagan.
Ray
Keating said, “With Heroes and Villains
and Reagan Country being released so
close together, I hope that readers have great fun spending this summer with
Pastor Stephen Grant. I think these two adventures will fit quite nicely on
everyone’s summer reading list.”
In
fact, one Amazon reviewer said the following about Reagan Country: “Another fun Keating read, perfect escapism
fiction, great for the beach or vacation.”
Keating’s
previous Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers/mysteries – Lionhearts, Wine Into Water, Murderer’s Row, The River, An Advent For
Religious Liberty, Root of All Evil? and
Warrior Monk – have received widespread praise.
