Lucifer is dead. Long live Lucifer. When Niccolo and Cadmus inherited visions of Lucifer's death, they never considered they would fail to stop it. However, their enemy had been prepared and no matter how hard they tried, Lucifer died and the portal to Earth was opened. Thinking of nothing but revenge against Azazel and Beleth, the demons responsible for Lucifer's death, Niccolo and Cadmus pursued them onto Earth only to have the portal shift and close behind them. After rising from Hell, the Horsemen found themselves standing on the plains of Napoli, their enemies nowhere to be found. That was how the Horsemen of the Apocalypse became stranded on Earth. After two months of fruitless searching, Niccolo and Cadmus have found that Earth had changed since their demise. Feudalism is prevalent throughout Europe, all traces of their former lives were gone and, most disturbingly, the Black Death started just as they arrived. It did not take the Horsemen long to realize that they were responsible, but there was nothing they could do. They were created to start the Apocalypse, and it was starting with or without their help. However, once some friends rise up from Hell to find them, Niccolo and Cadmus quickly discover there is something more important at stake. As long as Azazel and Beleth escaped justice, there would be no way to know what Adonai intended during the Apocalypse, no way to know what danger they would face. So, even as Niccolo is plagued with memories of Lucifer's past and Cadmus is drowning in visions of the future, the Horsemen realize they have no other choice. They would avenge Lucifer or die trying. Ghosts of Earth is the second book in Kevin Kauffmann's Forsaken Comedy, a story focusing on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their desire to save humanity. Mixing together mythology, history, science fiction and a heavy dose of action, the Forsaken Comedy is a different kind of Biblical Apocalypse.
