Demon By Knight
註釋In Demon by Knight, David Asher is a sixteen-year-old orphaned at age ten. Shuffled from one state-run facility to another, he runs away from the orphanages and foster homes to spend six years living on the streets of New York City. Homeless, he relies on his cunning and ruthlessness to survive. David ends up abusing alcohol and drugs to drown his sorrows and forget his crimes. One night he mugs an old woman and accidentally beats her to death. A witness pursues him down the street, and just when David thinks he has escaped, he's struck by a bus and dies. The young boy's soul rockets into the universe and stands judgment before "The Collective," composed of billions of souls. They promise David that he can regain his life if he works for them as "The Vengeful Hand of the Gods" for one year. He becomes a contract killer and is sent to kill the worst of the human race to maintain the proper balance between good and evil. David finds himself in a demonic body somewhere between realms, universes, and worlds. He goes through a grueling training period to master the use of his new body before being sent on his first mission. Meanwhile, his old body is in a drug-induced coma as he undergoes surgical procedures to put him back together again. But will "The Collective" keep their word? And what kind of life will David return to? About the Author: David W. Gray describes himself as a good old Texas boy who is now working as a security consultant in Bangkok, Thailand. He is writing book two of the series.
