Heaven is under siege.
Since the beginning of time good and evil have been locked in conflict, universe wide, but now the darkness is growing dangerously close. The select few chosen to sacrifice paradise are desperate to recruit a new batch of souls in the waning hope of fighting off defeat.
Former WW2 veteran, Gerald, has lived a long and happy life. Always putting his friends and family first, he dies content, ready to rest in peace. The cosmos has other ideas for the former soldier though. It is time for the warrior to take up arms once again.
Just one soul can make all the difference…But is he ready to answer the call?

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseGerald has passed away and gone to heaven. He meets his long since departed relatives and they have a picnic. Just the way one would like heaven to be. He has a few days to get used to his death and new existence when he is tasked with joining the heavenly army, to fight the darkness that tries to breakthrough. There are some very serious battles and one giant cliffhanger. I’m sorry I took so long to read this because I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2025Format: Hardcover“WOW!”
This is what I thought as I closed the cover of the book after finishing the last page.
A WW2 veteran dies and goes to heaven. While he is united with some people of the past, he has very odd dreams at night…yet they are not dreams…but peeks into reality.
The reality of war in the heavenlies between good and evil. A battle of revenge.
The veteran, Gerald, is chosen to lead a team of people into this war.
This story has a lot of spiritual elements to it…Heaven, Hell, Angels, Demons, Fallen Angels, Archangels. This is not a Christian novel, just adopts some aspects of it.
This book is written with the perfect pace…you knew details and did not get bored and the writing was never “wordy”.
I have not read anything like this since Frank Peretti’s “This Present Darkness”. This was a very intriguing book and cannot wait for this story to continue!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseEver wonder what heaven is like; well, after reading his book, heaven has endless possibilities, The author’s vivid description of the characters brings them to life along with the captivating scenery that takes one from being on earth into heaven and to otherworldly adventures. Can't wait for the next "Service" call. I highly recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseService is a fantastic sci fi / fantasy novel. It is very entertaining, action packed, and thought provoking. A must read for any Serious Reader. 5 Stars !!!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2024Format: PaperbackI had the pleasure of meeting Eric recently in an Asbury Park, Jersey Shore, coffee shop. I, too, am an author and love to donate my debut book (But I Digretch - Quirky Short Stories), to libraries, coffee shops, independent bookstores, etc. He and I struck up a conversation and I suggested we each read each other‘s first books and submit mutual reviews. It’s been a pleasure reading Service, Answer the Call, as I enjoy excursions into genres or content that isn’t typically my taste. I love trying to appreciate what others love you so much, i.e. fantasy/science fiction, archetypical war stories where violence and bloodshed are primary characters, and the oodles of expressions therein. Again, while this book’s style and focus isn’t my cup of tea (Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein being an aberration and my co-favorite book of all time - a gift from a previous significant other, otherwise, I never would have read it since it’s considered speculative fiction and, again, not usually my genre jam), I can completely grok that Service is an extremely well imagined and crafted tale that covers all the bases of this nature of work! Eric’s vibrant imagination and talent for translating fully imagined worlds coming to life is commendable. I also appreciate he seems to have a heart of gold, with the prospective triumph of light and goodness always at the heart of human nature, in the perennial battle (in this 3-dimensional realm of duality) of “good versus evil.”
May the Shwartz be with you, my new friend, Eric!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024Format: KindleEric Maldonado does a masterful job of bringing this characterful story to life with vibrant descriptions and ushers the reader through captivating scenery from earthbound to heavenly journeys. ‘Service’ is an action-packed thrill ride with some especially intense, descriptive battle scenarios. The story stands out for its unique blend of action and ability to initiate profound, introspective thoughts about the new world that’s being presented. The storytelling is a nonstop adventure that engages the reader, connecting with a myriad of emotions.
Mr. Maldonado’s work is a superb debut novel and I’m totally looking forward to the next installment and the continuation of the series

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic read! When is book 2 out!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI'm going to start by saying, this isn't my usual sort of book and I was a little sceptical when I first bought it. But the cover caught me and I wanted to know more!
Without giving away any spoilers this is a rip-roaring rollercoaster of a read. Awesome action and adventure, as well as some more poignant moments which I wasn't expecting in this fantastical new world. A fantastic first book by this new author and I'm just dying to see where he'll go next. Not only is the world his oyster regarding the series, all worlds, as well as the NEXT world, is masterfully in Mr. Maldonado's scope. A very well done and I'm looking forward to see where you take me next!
