Synopsis
Reaper's Gate is just one of Mr. Storm's 2010 releases and is nothing short of compelling. Johnny Lee Childress is the vicious killer of two beautiful little twin girls. When he is condemned to die and given a lethal injection, his heart continues to beat, and he does not die. He awakens ten days later. The person who awakens from a deadly chemical injection challenges the world by his protestations that he is NOT an evil serial killer, but the energy form of another person. Who is he? What is he? Did the soul of Johnny Lee Childress leave the body to dwell in the spirit world? Is this new soul he claims to possess really from the spiritual realm? Is his soul transformation real, or is he a cunning criminal con artist? And what is the world to do with him? Mr. Storm weaves his tale from all perspectives, drawing the reader into the great questions of life and death and what is to be done when there is reasonable doubt about death itself?
The reader will travel from the septic world of the death chamber to the mystic recall of Johnny Lee Childress when the state killed him legally with injection, but his soul fought to live on Earth again. Is he an angel? Some think so. He now calls himself "Jonathan," who personally takes up his own legal torch to fight for another chance at life. Police forces and the legal community who see him as a viscious murderer battle with the public, the Courts, the Catholic Church, and even the Pope, all confronting issues founded in Biblical proportion as they are unveiled. Daniel Storm gives the reader a fascinating read, as his characters come to a Life and death confrontation over issues founded in Biblical proportions. A thought provoking, entertaining read for one and all
