Sixty years ago Abe Griffin saved the world and gained eternal youth.

Or so he thought.

Now, a man who Abe believed to be long dead is killing the surviving members of Abe’s old squad in order to reclaim the relics that they have kept hidden for decades.

The relics form an ancient beacon that must never be used, in a ritual that must never be completed. But the end of the world requires more than just activating the beacon.

It requires Abe.

With help from the granddaughter of his oldest friend, Abe must learn the truth about his immortal body, while at the same time trying to stop a horrifying series of supernatural opponents from sweeping away everything that he cares about.

The opening scene in this story begins on a farm. Abe Griffen is bucking bales of hay up into the loft and remembering his wife. He had lost her five years earlier and had been living a very secluded life in the country. Most of his friends are gone, or will soon be. After all, Abe and his friends are closing in on their eighties. They feel old, look old. They have married and had children, retired and rested. Well, except for Abe. He may have lived almost eighty years but he has the body of a thirty year old. He watched his wife age and die. Used tricks to hide his lack of aging until forced to retire to his farm. He is done.

Having been the leader of a special unit during WWII, Abe has seen and experienced things most people will never ever see.

So after neatly stacking his hay, closing up the house and taking care of the logistics, Abe sits down in a comfortable chair, content and at peace, and puts a gun under his chin.

Someone forgot to tell Abe that heroes don’t get the easy way out. Especially if their mission isn’t over. Michael Langlois knows this and proceeds to tell us all about it and Abe’s journey in Bad Radio.

What a fantastic and thrilling ride. From the knock on Abe’s door by a compelling young woman to running for their lives and racing to save the world. Abe and the granddaughter of a fellow squad member and friend are faced with the inevitable decision to sacrifice their lives to save the world from a psychotically mis-guided man in search of revenge.

I so loved this book I have recommended it to friends all over. I can not wait until Michael Langlois writes more for me to devour! I wonder if he takes bribes?
