The Atheist Angel and the Secret Chord

By Derek Tobin

Winner of the Gold Medal from Harper Collins Editor's Desk. IT'S HARD TO BE THE INSTRUMENT OF GOD'S HOLY WRATH...WHEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. Revelations 15:2, 3 Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire. On the sea of glass were standing those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and the number that signified its name. They were holding harps given to them by God. Why does every holy book ever written - no matter which flavour of religion - describe angels as carrying harps? 107-year-old Floyd Jackson knows a dark secret, and on his deathbed he tells his grandson Sandy the answer. And in modern times...it's guitars...not harps. In London, young atheist Sandy Jackson's dying grandfather sets him on a quest to not only become an angel himself, but to stand against the rising demons and their pale leader, the nefarious Mr Stark. This demon has walked the earth for over three thousand years and now finally...he seeks to bring on the Apocalypse...with only nineteen-year-old Sandy...no more than a fledgling angel...standing in his way. In Glasgow, twenty-one-year-old guitarist Liam Kidd -- newly dropped by his band on account of his nervous stage-presence -- is recruited by a rich and mysterious old man called Malcolm. He offers to clear all Liam's debts, asking only that Liam play a beautiful guitar he has made and attend a meeting with him which he refers to as The Conclave. In Los Angeles - cash-strapped rock widow, Jackie Hendam, agrees to sell an old guitar of her late husband Leo's. The only trouble is, at his request, this particular guitar was buried with him. Jackie recruits down-on-his-luck ex-roadie Bill Merchant for a spot of grave-robbing and all hell breaks loose...literally. As young guitarist Liam Kidd, rock widow Jackie Hendam and Ex-Roadie Bill Merchant all collide with Sandy...it seems all is lost...as they wonder...can an atheist ever truly become an angel...and if so, can he harness enough power to stop the End of Days? This is the award winning first book in the Atheist Angel epic fantasy series. If you like Supernatural Fiction then you'll love Derek Tobin's genre-bending and totally original take on angels and demons: The Atheist Angel and the Secret Chord.
