The Olympians will not be enough to stop him this time.
Gabriel Crane has spent thirty plus years drifting from job to job, taking a stoic approach to life.

Now the United States economy has crashed which directly impacts his fraud investigation business. He is about to make a decision that will change his life forever.
He decides to go for a beer.
A beer doesn't normally change a person's life in any drastic fashion, but after Gabriel leaves the bar where he decided to drown his sorrows, his life changes. Someone tries to kill him.
The assassination attempt sets off a chain of events that thrusts Gabriel into the middle of a mythological battle between the forces of the underworld and the legendary beings of Olympus. Gabriel discovers that he is the last hope for mankind, but he is not really sure that he wants the job.
While Gabriel struggles with his true identity, a new civil war is about to unfold in the United States. The forces of evil are hard at work tearing away at the very fabric of the country. He soon becomes entangled in a battle which will take him from Virginia, to Texas all the way to a mythical island in the Pacific which shouldn't even exist.

˃˃˃ From private investigator to savior of the world? No way!
It's everyone's dream. To rise above mediocrity to become a superhero. Well unfortunately, you won't find that here. What you will find is a guy struggling with self-doubt, beaten, dejected, almost killed. Practically broken in spirit. It takes the assistance of Zeus and his merry band of demigods to assist Gabriel with rising above the ashes and become what he was born to be.
