Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Two American soldiers are carefully checking a church in Kosovo for mines when there is an explosion. However, what they find is not a bomb but a mysterious ethereal glow. The soldiers end up stateside, being questioned by army intelligence, who wonder whether the soldiers were blinded by aliens. In fact, the soldiers are convinced they saw a messenger from God. Soon after, a doctor rushes to help a neighbor who is apparently having a heart attack. The physician finds the man already dead. Within minutes, the Good Samaritan is inexplicably covered with blood and is arrested for murder. These odd events are connected because angels have come down to earth as messengers to try to bring peace and goodness to the world. It is through certain people that they will be able to spread the word of God and save the world. It's notable that the book is bylined as being "created by"Anot "written by"ANew Age guru/author Chopra and veteran anthologist Greenberg. However they "created" the novel, it seems closer to a dull '50s sci-fi pulp flick populated with stereotypical characters than to an inspiring tale of good and evil. (Aug.)

From AudioFile

A bizarre life form is discovered on a war-torn battlefield in Kosovo and eventually transported to a top-secret scientific laboratory for analysis. The soldiers who discover it and the scientists and doctors who study it are baffled by what can only be described as a supernatural encounter. In the meantime, good and evil face each another in a battle that results in a bizarre murder. These occurrences begin to crisscross, and eventually the power of an angel serves as the last hope for all the good on earth. Dissolving the fine line between realism and science fiction, Paul Michael unravels the tale of psychological warfare between awesome evil forces and righteousness. The pace of this recitation escalates as an American doctor, Michael Aulden, feverishly tracks the treacherous conduit of evil to rescue humankind.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a novel, not like his other books, Dec 30 2000
By Thomas Victor (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
And I positively disliked it! It is a poorly written 'action' novel interrupted at 4 or 5 places by one page 'voice of the angel' sections which are the only parts that remotely resemble Deepak's previous writings. I magine that the 'novel' part was written by his co-author. I was repelled by this book, and ended up returning it to Amazon. Normally I am a big fan of his and own most of his previous books.

Is this a new direction for Deepak? Is he trying to reach people who read junk novels? Or the 'angel' people? If so this is NOT good enough. Deepak, please stick to what you do best..
