ANGELS: Shock & Awe

Name: ANGELS: Shock & Awe
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Author: Stephen DeWoody

Summary

The "Trumps of Doom" sound to signal the coming final Apocalypse, but the agents of the world's end are not biblical supernatural legions; they are flesh and blood aliens, who call themselves Angels! Graham K is nobody special, just an anonymous citizen of the Earth who is “Chosen” to function as interlocutor between Man and the Angels. Graham is enjoying a visit to Disneyland when the “Trumps of Doom” sound. He will struggle to keep his sense of humanity while he slowly realizes that he’s being used as a pawn by the alien invaders. For the Angels are not supernatural, just technologically advanced (by many millennia) beings who believe they have an inherent right to impose their own system on humanity. They are powerful, extremely long-lived, extraordinarily beautiful, and completely arrogant creatures who have returned to Earth to take it over for their own purposes, treating humans as lesser creatures. From the moment of their arrival (heralded with the world-wide blast that renders most modern technology useless), the world is thrown into chaos – old religions tumble, new ones are formed, and global politics rendered meaningless. Somehow, Graham has to raise humanity’s status with the Angels, or the whole world faces a bleak future as barely-tolerated lesser beings, begging for metaphoric scraps at the masters’ table.

Prologue

Make no mistake: these are indeed the “End Times.” But there will be no Rapture, and the Angels that descend to Earth are not the overgrown fairies so popular in the modern mythos. They are flesh-and-blood beings that are not supernatural, but superhuman—they are the parents of all mankind, returning to lead us into their advanced society. ... There will come a day of reckoning, not as John of Patmos prophesied, but just as shocking, just as awe-inspiring, and even more devastating. The entire world—all of humanity, from babes in arms to the eldest pensioners, from the poorest peon to the mightiest tycoon, atheists and acolytes, Jews and Buddhists, Methodists and Muslims—will fall to its knees as the Sons of God, the Angels of Antiquity, return to reclaim their Garden.

My Blacksmith Saviorby Suze Wilde

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...

jo987_123: This is a good story, but it needs a good editor to go through this iteration and fix the mistakes. The pov changes from 1st person to 3rd person, often, and sometimes within one sentence. It needs a liberal sprinkling of punctuation marks throughout, and a decision needs to be made about the char...
