What if God had a superhero tasked with battling Lucifer’s forces on Earth? You might expect that hero to be Jesus, but in Slaying Paradise: Legend of the Iron Warrior by T.V. Holiday, the role falls to someone entirely unexpected. Enter Travis Holiday, a recently deceased cop who finds himself resurrected and thrust into a divine mission. In this first installment of the series, Travis is plucked from the wreckage of his car and transported to another plane of existence by a man with a fluffy white beard. What follows is a journey through the bizarre world of Carnage Coast, where Travis must embrace his new identity as The Iron Warrior.

This book is steeped in superhero motifs, presenting a protagonist who is literally brought back from the dead and equipped with an arsenal of gadgets and powers to save humanity from the depths of Hell. Travis’s new life as The Iron Warrior includes a superhero bunker packed with high-tech gear, powers like Divine Eyes, and a formidable adversary in Luc, a villain determined to thwart his every move. The narrative reads like a blend of Christian allegory and a campy 80’s superhero movie, where themes of Faith, Love, and Justice are at the forefront. While Slaying Paradise may feel like a teenage fantasy brought to life, its campy tone adds a layer of entertainment that keeps the pages turning. The battles are engaging, the characters intriguing, and the concept of a heavenly battle for humanity offers a fresh take on traditional Christian themes. Though the characters might lack depth and the prose is straightforward, the story itself is captivating enough to provide an enjoyable escape.

If you’re looking for a unique spin on a world where the savior of humanity isn’t Jesus but a superhero-like figure known as The Iron Warrior, Slaying Paradise: Legend of the Iron Warrior is a great choice. Follow the resurrected cop Travis Holiday as he takes up the mantle of a divine warrior and confronts Luc in a battle to save humanity from the clutches of Hell. It’s a fun, campy, and thought-provoking take on what it means to be a warrior of God.
