First published 2012
James Stark has survived three brutal adventures across Hell and California. He has battled angels and demons, fought zombie hordes and outlaw bikers, and faced down government operatives who wanted him dead. Each time he saved humanity from complete destruction. Now Stark faces his biggest challenge yet. He must take on the role he was always meant to fill: Lucifer himself, absolute ruler of the Underworld. As the new lord of Hell, Stark discovers that running the place comes with problems he never imagined. The job puts him at odds with forces both above and below, and the stakes have never been higher. Stark's brutal sense of humor and his talent for violence will be tested like never before as he learns what it really means to be the devil.
