A British secret agent is caught in a plot to assassinate archangels who settled Earth after WWII in this classic thriller from the World Fantasy Award winning author! < p/>"Sharp, brutal, cool--yet also stunningly imaginative and perfectly realised." --Michael Marshall, bestselling author of The Straw Men trilogy < p/> In 1945, the Archangels materialised over the battlefields of Europe, ushering in a new Cold War. Fifty years later, they are being killed off. . . one by one. < p/> But who - or what - can kill an angel? < p/> Killarney is a shadow executive for the Bureau, British Intelligence's most secret organisation. She is the best - and she always works alone. Sent on a desperate mission to locate a missing cryptographer who may prove the key to the murders, Killarney finds herself running for her life, from London to Paris to Moscow, leading to a confrontation with a very human evil in the frozen wastelands of Novosibirsk. < p/> Plagued by dreams of a different world, and haunted by a swastika adorned with angel wings, it could take all of Killarney's resources to survive, when Heaven itself may be threatened, and God herself may be walking the earth. . . < p/>"Fast moving, powerfully phantasmagoric fantasy" - Adam Roberts < p/>"A novella of blistering, ballistic energy and ferocious cleverness" - James Lovegrove < p/>"A breathless adventure story, finely crafted and rammed home with the assured confidence of an author very much in his stride." - SFRevue. com
