The book opens with Joel Essen, a scruffy detective, witnessing an assassination of a renowned physicist. Going against his captain’s orders, he investigates the case. But in doing so, he opens Pandora box and learns of a nefarious plan to unleash hell on Earth. This new profound burden pushes the detective into action to go against a group of very powerful individuals. 

As intriguing  as the plot seems, it’s not the heart of the book’s mystery. It becomes rapidly clear that Joel Essen himself is very peculiar. He has his warts and inner demons from his past. A mystery that is slowly revealed throughout the book. The central theme of the book is that ‘no man is an island and no man stands alone’. Seeing that this book is a team up book, Essen will have to learn to trust and work with others. This is something he will especially struggle to come to terms with. In fact the other four main characters will have to learn to do the same. Every character has their own backstory that is perfectly intertwined into the main plot. 

Two Steps From Hell is a very suspensive story and with each chapter, the readers are forced to the edge of their seats. Everything and everyone will be against their favourite protagonist and time will be of the utmost importance to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

"That's it! We have to get the sword out of here," Ezra panicked, reaching to grab the sword, but as soon as he did that the two Swiss Guards quickly then pointed their Halberd at him. "What are you doing!?" Ezra looked fiercely at Ian. 


"I'm sorry, Ezra, but I cannot allow you or anyone to take the sword. It's now a property of the Vatican." 


"Are you serious?! Your brother has just said that Deimos is here...in the secret cavern that you said he could not enter. He's not playing. He will kill us all to get the sword and we cannot let that happen." 


"Then let him come," Ian conceitedly remarked, nodding to the two Swiss Guards, who then walked over the stone bridge and stopped right at the entrance, pointing out their Halberds and anxiously awaiting for Deimos' big appearance. "He will find no welcome here," Ian concluded on high.
