Hex the Stars (Urban Fantasy/Alien Invasion)
by Jakob H. Greif
They came from another star. They found only death. Decades ago, the supernaturals of this world went into hiding for good. Only a few people remain to act as bridges between them, and a humanity armed with guns, tanks, and nuclear warheads. Johannes Herzog lives in that gap. Yet when aliens invade, there is no choice: there is no holding back, no staying in the shadows, there is only victory … or extermination. Can he gather allies and use his magic to blindside the seemingly omniscient alien mothership overhead? To curse them for the rest of eternity, to unearth ancient artifacts his foes will never see coming? Or will the raw power of science and orbital bombardment ensure humanity’s doom? The future of humankind is on the line, but luckily for us, Johannes is there as well.
