In HEROES AND VILLAINS by award-winning novelist Ray Keating, Stephen Grant, the Lutheran pastor, onetime Navy SEAL and former CIA operative, must confront violence springing from a toxic mix of pop culture and ideological extremism. 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. Reviewers love the adventure...
Kirkus Reviews says, "In this short story, Keating's recurring cleric Stephen Grant steps up to help a popular comic-book creator targeted by armed assailants... When kidnappers eventually abduct someone, Stephen is quickly on their trail, and he has plenty of help--a convention's worth of superheroes. The series' protagonist remains a man of action even though the story isn't novel-length... An entertaining, immersive jaunt with a formidable protagonist."
And Self-Publishing Review declares, "Keating manages to instill the same suspense of his other epic thrillers into this unlikely little gem. As he always does, Pastor Grant brings bravado and humility to the table at the same time, instilling the book with morality, action and thought-provoking revelations from start to finish. Keating's creativity and storytelling ability remain on point, for a fun and different take on Pastor Grant, and one that's just as satisfying as longer books in the series."
Jacob Airey, host of StudioJake , declares, “This is a fantastic novel... If you are a comic book fan who is fed up with the political correctness that’s going on, you have got to pick up Heroes and Villains... I highly recommend this book... I’m definitely going to be paying more attention to Ray Keating, and getting more of his novels.”
