Product Description

After Archangels materialise over the bloodbaths of WWII, they take up residence in most of the world's major cities. But what would happen if, more than quarter of a century later, something somehow managed to kill these supreme beings? Killarney knows and, as an agent working for the Bureau, a British agency that's so secret it doesn't officially exist, she finds herself embroiled in the consequences as, one by one, the Archangels die.

Assigned to trace a missing cryptographer thought to have information on the murders, she travels from England, through France, heading for the frozen wastes of the USSR. But there's an unknown third party intent on stopping her, and there's God, who also has an agenda. Not knowing who is friend and who is foe, and with only a brief glimpse of a swastika on angel wings as solid information, Killarney struggles to remain alive long enough to glean sufficient information to put together the pieces of the puzzle and complete what is, without them, an impossible mission.

Before The Bookman 29 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
An Occupation of Angels is a master-class in pulp fiction; the pace is break-neck, with the book reading like a cross between Ian Fleming's James Bond and Gregory Widen's The Prophecy. It's maybe like the impression we'd have of Brian Lumley's `Necroscope' if he'd stripped back the characterisation and had stopped writing after the first, superior installment of his series.

A ripping yarn 16 April 2012
By A. Skudder TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a bit wrong-footed by this story. Having read the Bookman by the same author I was expecting more of the same and it took me a while to understand what was going on.

I was a little disappointed that there was no explicit explanation of exactly where these angels came from, and why, but for most of it the pace was so fast there was no time to think about that sort of thing.

The hero is actually a heroine, which makes a change for adventure-based stories, and at such a reasonable price I can live with the lack of background detail, which is possibly being left vague to leave the door open for sequels.

I really enjoyed this book. The mix of a traditional spy story and the fact that this was an alternative history where angels had come to occupy the earth made for a very interesting read. I thought the pace was good and the action was believeable. The thing I enjoyed most was the imagery of the angels themselves, almost holed up in these vast buildings like St Paul's cathedral. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes a story with a lot of action and a plot that is different enough to hold their attention.
