Product Description
Hellboy, a bloodred, cloven-hoofed demon raised by the United States government, is a top field agent for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. He questions the unknown -- then beats it into submission. Religious artifacts from every faith are disappearing without a trace. The identity of the perpetrator is a complete mystery until Hellboy and Liz Sherman -- acting on an unlikely tip from a ghost -- foil a museum heist attempted by crude, robotic constructs inhabited by human spirits. One of these freed human spirits offers to help Hellboy track down those who imprisoned him: a fanatical order of psychics obsessed with creating a new messiah, one that will bring about a new stage of evolution for mankind -- whether mankind is willing or not. Now only Hellboy and his colleagues stand between a vulnerable humanity and an evil, vengeful god....

If you like the Hellboy stuff,you'd probably enjoy this book.Follows the Hellboy series nicely and is a pretty good read on it's own.

It started out slow developing the characters, but then built to a climax and ended really well.

Sniegoski has got this down, I think.
"It was a near perfect day up till now. But zombie cyborgs...Hellboy sighed. "I'm not sure I deserve so much fun."
This novel has the right combination of humor, horror and pathos for Hellboy, as a group of spirit-mediums attempt to incorporate and raise a god they worship.
All the crazy weird crap is there, too, along with Director Manning's Uncle Steve's ghost, undertakers, storage facilities for excess paranormal artifacts, and other oddities.
His time working on BPRD comics certainly seems to have assisted the writing for this book.
It appears this a series that it will continue to be worth getting.
