"The Battle of the Rages"

first publication in: The Mighty Sons of Hercules

Review from Tales of Trinity City:

Her link to the Wild Stars will not be revealed until Wild Stars 10: War of the Gods!

"Who is God?" is a social science-fiction short story released December 2019 in the paperback anthology "Gods & Services",
edited by R. J. Carter. A mysterious shop appears out of nowhere with a sign that reads Goods & Services, but one of the "O"s has fallen off.
The inventory is unusual: lost or forgotten gods who perform services for a price.

Featuring Michael Tierney's new short story, Shark Fighter,

"Well written and there is a powerful emotional punch at its core."

"...not light fare, but .... meaty and gripping adventure"

"a grim sort of redemption"
