He's learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance, so why is learning to drive such a difficulty? But that isn't the primary skill he has to master. Survival is.

And in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known.
Or...”

The trailer is here:



Finally, the latest edition of Shadowland magazine is available. It is full of bat related material and has one of my reviews printed in it.
