Albrecht Drue, ghostpuncher. Interlude: Al Hell Breaks Loose

The third book in the series and a stand-alone shoot-em-up in its own right, Albrecht Drue, ghostpuncher. Interlude: Al Hell Breaks Loose bridges the gap between Paranormal Dick and The DruEnk Knight Returns by relating in brutal detail what happened that one time when Albrecht Drue chased the unfairly damned soul of his good buddy Grigsby into Hell itself, then proceeded to punch the living crap out of every (somewhat literally) goddamned thing in his path. Al Hell Breaks Loose is a vividly executed cinematic depiction of a drunk Texan tear-assing across the fiery plains of Gehenna on a quest to save a foul-mouthed Scottish man-princess from the endless torments of the damned. Unencumbered by the physics of the living world, Al finds his talent for ghostpunching buffed up to ridiculous levels, and has himself a fine old time testing its limits against every manner of Hellspawn imaginable (except that one. Copyright issues and such.) But once Al has bashed, torn, ripped, and pummeled his bloody way through every demon, daeva, monster, and demigod stupid enough to stand between him and the object of his quest, will that be enough to save his friend from the damnation even Grigsby believes he deserves, or has he finally come face to face with something he can’t punch into submission? In the tradition of every video game button-masher, action movie kill-fest, anime throwdown, and comic book double-issue spectacular Battle Royale you can think of (aside from "Battle Royale," actually,) Al Hell Breaks Loose serves up an excruciating, brain-crushing, soul-sundering fusillade of action unlike anything you've ever seen. Except for the other actiony-parts of Albrecht Drue, ghostpuncher. It's a lot like those, only in Hell and with a bigger effects budget. Low on booze, running out of smokes, and sick of this supernatural bullshit: what happens when a ghostpuncher on a mission squares off against the raging hordes of the fiery abyss? You know damn well what happens: Al Hell Breaks Loose.
