He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan.  But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn't just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth...   Origin by J.A. Konrath All hell is about the break loose. For real.
