Book Description
In 1945, the Archangels materialised over the battlefields of Europe, ushering in a new Cold War. Fifty years later, they are being killed off... one by one. But who - or what - can kill an angel? Killarney is a shadow executive for the Bureau, British Intelligence's most secret organisation: so secret it doesn't even officially exist. She is the best - and she always works alone. Sent on a desperate mission to locate a missing cryptographer who may prove the key to the murders, Killarney finds herself running for her life, from London to Paris to Moscow, leading to a confrontation with a very human evil in the frozen wastelands of Novosibirsk. Plagued by dreams of a different world, and haunted by a swastika adorned with angel wings, it ould take all of Killarney's resources to survive, when heaven itself may be threatened, and God herself may be walking the earth...
From the Publisher
An Occupation of Angels is a taut, high-octane thriller in the tradition of Adam Hall's Quiller novels and Tim Powers' Declare. This is the first novella from the winner of the Clarke-Bradbury Prize, and is an hallucinatory trip that is guaranteed to get you high... as high as angels.
