Forced into the underground by an oppressive global government, a brilliant engineer, Slade, has secretly developed the most revolutionary biotechnology mankind has ever known...but when he and his wife are brutally murdered, a vicious liaison of a hellish dimension tears Slade across space and time, damning him to a dark netherworld. Fooled into bartering his scientific knowledge for a second chance at life, Slade is forced to use that technology to survive his resurrection. Now, more a demonic machine than man, Slade must journey through the wilderness of the hell dimension in an unlikely alliance with demons. As he hones his skills to exact his revenge, he learns that the stakes are higher than he ever anticipated - he must prevent apocalypse at the hands of his power-hungry captor from the netherworld, whose traitorous plot supersedes even the evil designs of Hell's rulers. The ultimate conflict explodes through the fabric of both dimensions. As man and demon spill blood and evil closes in from every quarter, can Slade learn to use his newfound strength, and hatred, to destroy his nemesis? In the midst of fighting for his life in the wilds of an alien dimension, Slade experiences revelations that throw into question everything that he thought he knew, thought he believed...thought he was. With his entire reality thrown into upheaval and the countdown to apocalypse looming, can Slade regain control of his shattered mind and altered body in time to find the truth and overcome the forces of destruction?

Enok'un Kitabı, Nuh'un büyük büyükbabası Enok tarafından yazıldığı düşünülen bir metindir. Kilise Babaları'ndan Atinalı Athenagoras, İskenderiye'li Klement ve İrinaios gibi figürlerce ve Barnabas Mektubu'nda kutsal bir metin olarak kabul edilse de Museviliğin ve günümüz Hristiyanlığının geneli tarafından apokrif metin kategorisine alınmıştır. Kitap, Enok'un dünya üzerindeki yolculuğundan, Nuh Tufanı'ndan, insanları gözetmek için gönderilen ilk meleklerin düşüşünden, iblis ve nefilimin kökeninden bahseder: "Azazel insanlara kılıç, hançer, kalkan ve zırh yapmayı öğretti. Onlara dünyadaki metallerle ilgili şeyleri ve nasıl işleneceklerini gösterdi. Bilezik ve takıları nasıl yapacaklarını, antimonu nasıl kullanacaklarını, göz kapaklarını nasıl güzelleştireceklerini öğretti ve değerli taşlarla renkli boyaları gösterdi. Böylece dünya değişmişti."Ayrıca İsa'nın bin yıllık devri (İsa'nın ikinci gelişi) ve kıyametle ilgili kehanetlerde bulunur.Hangi kategoride değerlendirilirse değerlendirilsin Enok'un Kitabı, konuyla ilgilenenler için bilgilendirici, akademisyenler açısındansa Çağdaş Teoloji alanında önemli bir kaynaktır.
