Opis

As apocalypse advances upon Parallel Earth, questions are accumulating faster than answers. Maria Archangeline is with child, but clearly mistaken about the identity of the father. Just how long might that last? In Damascus, Muhammad Abdullah has indeed found enlightenment, thankfully beginning his labor of peace, but is he too late? The last battle seems nearly knocking at his door. Just to the south, Prime Minister Shosheqets struggles blindly still, in great need of counsel, desperately but unsuccessfully trying to steer Israeli events away from war. Yet where the abominable creations of Talman Abasi Ahmad may be found, his manipulations are never far behind. In one sweeping act he will set off the chain of events which precipitates Armageddon; in one fell swoop the balance of power will shift. But will all go as planned? In Angels of Apocalypse, Part II: Abominations, the deepest secrets of the enemy are at last uncovered, as Talman's peers defiantly begin introducing themselves to the world. And it seems the greatest of these peers cannot be intimidated by any means. On the other side of the planet, in the lavish villa built upon Den's South Pacific island, an old intelligence has recently awakened. For some time scientists and engineers have been arriving there excitedly, as rumors of a "New Robotic Dawn" spread like wildfire. Before long the islanders' progress is ramped up exponentially; within months new technologies are honed, until one of Talman's most cunning slaves even defects. The Grand Dragon is certain, however, that a traitor still remains amongst his servants. Who might it be? As finding a fitting test to divine the answer seems near impossible, he releases his first assault. Far too soon, Den and his companions find themselves drawn into the fiery conflicts of the Middle East, where rumors of magic and mutation abound at the end of all things. By the close of this, the second volume of the Angels of Apocalypse trilogy, a new theory of interfaith interconnectivity will emerge to foul the press of war, but will it be enough? Will anybody care? Or has Talman already won? Is he playing some deeper game?
