Darkness Visible



When the demons came, humanity reluctantly learned to share the world with another sentient race. Sixty years later, this uneasy co-existence has spawned an endless terrorist conflict. Detective Daniel Aston, charged with being the thin blue line between the two sides, is tested to the limit when a demon sets up house inside his soul. But to save his daughter, he'll pay any price--including genocide.

Praise for Darkness Visible

"Carey and David's writing is simultaneously straightforward and layered. At once this is a police story with a terrorist angle, but it is also a science-fiction/supernatural story with a lot of exposition. These storytellers are creating an entirely new and unique universe." --ComicWOW! TV
