An original tale that explores the idea of aliens living among us...Detective Ernie Benasco is almost embarrassed to admit that he works for Alameda County's Paranormal Task Force, a small law enforcement agency charged with keeping the local "magical-types" happy and under control. When Ernie sits down with the young man he's been tailing in connection with the bombing of a witches' building, he thinks an arrest is soon to follow, but Danny Heller, a member of the mysterious Shadow Clan, proves to be somewhat of a puzzle. The younger sibling of the main suspect, Danny claims that his brother, Tuyouk, is really an eight-foot tall, shape-shifting alien from a planet called Ahman-tahk. He says that the magical hostilities that are spilling into the mundane world began when Tuyouk became romantically entangled with the witches' goddess, Belall. When he spurned her love, Belall came after him with a vengeance, and through centuries, wars, wormholes, and even death, has not stopped hunting him yet. The Gods of Ahman-tahk is the first book in an original series by Maria Mathis. Set alternately in modern day Oakland and a faraway planet, it abounds with "human" emotions that will have you caught up in the story of a brand new universe.
