Bringing with him the practical experience that comes from having owned a high-end gun store—catering largely to law enforcement—and as a competitive shooter and self-defense trainer, Correia blasts apart the emotion-laden, logic-free rhetoric of the gun-control fanatics who turn every "mass shooting" into a crazed call for violating your rights, abusing the Constitution—and doing absolutely nothing to really fight crime.

Ashok Vidal war einst Mitglied der höchsten Kaste in ganz Lok. Als Beschützer widmete er sein Leben der Aufrechterhaltung des Gesetzes, der Ausrottung derjenigen, die noch die alten Rituale praktizierten und der schnellen Gerechtigkeit mit Angruvadal, der Klinge seiner Ahnen. Keiner war gnadenloser als er, um den anhaltenden Glauben an Götter und Dämonen unter den Kastenlosen auszumerzen. Seine Brutalität war legendär und wurde gefeiert. Aber Ashok erfährt, dass sein Leben bis zu diesem Punkt eine Lüge war. Er selbst, das Oberhaupt des Beschützerordens, ist ein Kastenloser.

From the pulpy pages of Black Mask Magazine in the 1920s and '30s, through the film noir era of the 1940s, to today, noir fiction has lured many a reader and movie-goer away from the light and into the dark underbelly of society. Names such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain; titles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice...these have inhabited our collective consciousness for decades. Humanity, it seems, loves the dark. And within the dark, one figure stands out: that of the femme fatale.

Nach dem Krieg der Götter wurden die Dämonen ausgeschlossen und auf die Erde verbannt. Dort rotteten sie fast die gesamte Menschheit aus, bis die Götter den großen Helden Ramrowan schickten. Er vereinte die Stämme, brachte ihnen Magie bei und trieb die Dämonen ins Meer. Seitdem gehörte das Land den Menschen, und nur die Ozeane blieben eine unüberwindbare Hölle, die den Kontinent Lok isolierte. Eine Prophezeiung sah jedoch die Rückkehr der Dämonen voraus, die nur von den Nachkommen Ramrowans zu besiegen seien. So wurden sie die ersten Könige, und alle Menschen dienten ihnen, da sie ihre einzige Hoffnung aufs Überleben waren.

But what seems a simple enough assignment will rapidly turn into a test of the platoon's survival skills - an abandoned fort, the lone survivor of a horrifying attack, and a ferociously territorial tribe may be more than even the Malcontents can handle.
