Mercury Rises: The explosive sequel to Mercury Falls!
Jaded religion reporter Christine Temetri and Mercury, a renegade angel, have just thwarted two diabolical plots to destroy the world. But their work isn’t finished yet: mysterious powers outranking even the Heavenly bureaucracy seem intent on keeping the Apocalypse on track. While the world is plagued by natural disasters and nations prepare for war, crazed billionaire Horace Finch plots to use a secret device hidden beneath the African desert to discover the deepest secrets of the Universe—even if he has to destroy the Universe to do it. Meanwhile, unassuming FBI investigator Jacob Slater tries in vain to find a rational explanation for the mysterious destruction of downtown Anaheim—a quest that ultimately brings him to Kenya, where he meets Christine and Mercury. Together, the three must stop Finch from activating the device and tearing reality to pieces. Uproarious and wildly entertaining, Mercury Rises proves that the devil is in the details!

"A clever, witty, enjoyable read! I've always enjoyed reading books on mythology and in many ways this was similar, there was a depth of history and mythical beings that I really enjoyed. I recommend the trilogy!" — Melissa (4 out of 5 stars)
"A clever, witty, enjoyable read! I've always enjoyed reading books on mythology and in many ways this was similar, there was a depth of history and mythical beings that I really enjoyed. I recommend the trilogy!"
" LOVED IT! Already on to his next book. This author is hilarious. "
" Didn't feel the lack of not having read the first book. Was humerous but didn't really have me laughing or grab me "
" Quick read, but it was entertaining and funny. This one was better than the first. On to the third! "
" Not quite as good as the first. Felt a little fragmented. Still funny though. "
" Not quite as funny as Mercury Falls, still a very enjoyable read "
" Great book....even better than the first one....looking forward to the next in the series.... "
" Even funnier than Mercury Falls and that was the funniest book I'd read in a long time. "
" After all the banter in Mercury Falls, I was disappointed in the sequel. The story doesn't flow well. It feels like this book is just setting up the next one and it doesn't do a good job. "
" When will the third book come out? Really enjoyed this one. "
" I liked Mercury Falls a bit better, but this was a good follow-up. Worth the time. More of the same irreverent humor. As an aside, this was my first free loan from Amazon's Kindle lending library, pretty cool. "
" Hints of Christopher Moore. Loved it. "
" Still an interesting story but not as good as the first one. A bit preachy in parts. "
" A fun sequel that doesnt waste time repeating what happened in the first book, moves the story along a completely new path, and the ending is chock full of all the lines lining up. Can't wait for the trilogy--or maybe a pentalogy? "
" Another great book in a very funny series. "
" I think it was the novelty factor of that quirky picturing of angels and demons that made me love the first one. With that worn off, this was quite a drag. felt like repetition. plot felt too jumbled. "
" Fun and fast read, but now that I'm just reviewing it, I can't seem to remember much of it. But I'm sticking by my original rating because obviously I enjoyed the hell out of it. "
" Didn't really like as much as the first. Too much time spent in exposition/review. Often funny but seems to be trying too hard at times. Twee. Not sure if I will read the last. "
Robert Kroese’s sense of irony was honed growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, home of the Amway Corporation and the Gerald R. Ford Museum, and the first city in the United States to fluoridate its water supply. In second grade, he wrote his first novel, the saga of Captain Bill and his spaceship Thee Eagle. This turned out to be the high point of his academic career. After barely graduating from Calvin College in 1992 with a philosophy degree, he was fired from a variety of jobs before moving to California, where he stumbled into software development. As this job required neither punctuality nor a sense of direction, he excelled at it. In 2009, he called upon his extensive knowledge of useless information and love of explosions to write his first novel, Mercury Falls. Since then, he has written two sequels, Mercury Rises and Mercury Rests, and a humorous epic fantasy, Disenchanted.
