This is a continuation of story of good versus evil started
in Angelkiller.
Angels and Demons so to speak are the main characters in this story. However
they aren't the traditional Angels and Demons. It is the Army versus the Enemy
with the Army being the good guys and the Enemy being the bad guys. The world is being manipulated by the Enemy
and it is up to the Army to stop them.
In some ways it would be nice to ascribe the troubles of the
world to a mythical band of evil doers as the author does. It is kind of sad that the messes we see
today are self created. However on to
the story.
The knights that appeared in the last story are still with
us. They are helping Mason’s cell of
the Army. Once again much of the action
takes place in an advanced virtual reality.
This VR is so advanced that injuries sustained in the digital world can
be inflicted on the physical body.
The crew of good guys co-opt a Enemy mid-level manager and
manage to inflict some damage on the Enemy.
One of their own is trapped in VR.
The black hats versus the white hats is a common theme, less
common is the reversal of roles. Blalock
does a nice job portraying a pantheon for both sides. When you come right down to it, the series
is a portrayal of the good guys against the bad. I guess the third book will let us know who
wins.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
I'm halfway through the first book and definitely hooked!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how it is all tied up in the next book.
