This is a reprint of the original book in the 1990s, BEFORE EDEN, published by Thomas Nelson. Now the whole series will be published and this is the first in the series. It is the first half of BEFORE EDEN. The second half will come out soon. It's the story of the Aris the Angel who refuses to join Satan in his rebellion or God in his quest to prove his goodness and righteousness. As a result, God gives him a position in his world that is unequalled.

Lark is now 18 and must go into the militia as a fighter against the dreaded Federal Empire. Her skill as a leader and warrior soon become evident even as she watches her soul-mate Tenn grow in the same areas. She is falling for him, but doesn't want to tell him yet so it won't change his way of dealing with the enemy.

This is a not-too-scary book about monsters that Doug K. likes to expose and reveal to the world. He calls himself a "CB"--Creature-Buster. His Uncle Ed has all kinds of amazing equipment that Doug uses to nail these dangerous creatures. But Doug always finds in the end there's a twist, and sometimes what he sees is not what is real.
