Three hundred years ago, a slave sorcerer bought his freedom by showing his master how he could live forever—by using the sacrificial deaths of his own children as a channel to absorb the life essence of others. Now in 1990’s Los Angeles, two men have seen their daughters consumed by a sorcerous flame and discover that together they have the skills to confront the evil ancestors who have preyed on their family for centuries. BLOOD BROTHERS weaves fantasy and magic into a deftly told tale of American race relations and history.
“Barnes' sound and absorbing fantasy deals with that classic devil's bargain, achieving immortality by absorbing the life force of others… a page turner.”
- Booklist
"Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real . . . and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work."
- Tim Powers on THE KUNDALINI EQUATION
“Barnes pulls no punches . . . characters are fully and beautifully drawn.”
- Locus Magazine on THE KUNDALINI EQUATION
“Convincing at both the brain and gut levels.”

- Publishers Weekly (on GREAT SKY WOMAN)
"An adventure on a grand scale, this initial installment in a projected two-volume series cleverly sets the stage for further action and will leave readers craving more."
- Booklist on GREAT SKY WOMAN
". . . at once rugged and elegant in style, a mix of harsh bloodletting with a primeval close-to-the-land beauty."
