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.

Two Steps From Hell

"When he shot you, your sister and the sword were directly behind you. I remembered being in shock, watching your blood as it gushed out through the exit hole the bullet left in your side." 


"What are you saying?" She battered her lashes. 


"When I took up and carried the sword for Victor, it was covered in blood...your blood." 


"This is crazy," Ezra looked Terry in the face after pushing his eyeglasses upon his face. "I didn't see that. I was there too, did you forget that?" 


"How could you...You were hiding behind a table. Did you forget that?" Terry stood his ground. "I'm telling you it was cover in her blood. Prove me wrong. Give her the sword. I know I'm right." 


"Here," Essen then out of nowhere handed her the sword despite Ezra's denial. Its whisperings suddenly became louder.
