Three brothers - Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer. Royalty. Archangels. United in devotion to their father and all his works. But when Lucifer learns of their father's latest creation - a new race, fashioned from crude matter and yet made in his image - he is consumed with resentment. Why have he and his angelic kind been overlooked? After a bitter confrontation, Lucifer is cast out, doomed to an eternity of exile and punishment. Unrepentant, he vows he won't suffer alone. Mankind has made a powerful enemy - one determined to lure it into darkness and torment any way he can... There could be no bigger canvas for film-making. - Mark Ordesky (Executive Producer - Lord of the Rings); Alec not only re-frames pre-history; she also imaginatively illustrates how the realm of spirit impacts the contemporary material world. Ileen Maisel (Executive Producer for the Golden Compass) This is the best work of fiction I have read since the last installment of Dean Koontz' Frankenstein series Jim Mc Donald - 1340 Mag - Online Entertainment Magazine. Editorial Reviews The Barnes & Noble Review The Fall of Lucifer, the first release in the Realms imprint line (whose mission is to fill a gap in Christian publishing and produce faith-based, visionary supernatural fiction), revolves around the relationship between God's three great angelic regents -- Michael, the warrior; Gabriel, the revelator; and Lucifer, the light-bearer -- and chronicles the epic origins of Evil. During the eternity before the creation of humankind, all celestial beings existed in perfect harmony. But when Yehovah announces His intention to create a flesh-and-blood race of beings in His own image, Lucifer takes the venture as a betrayal of the angelic race, and soon doubt, anger, and jealousy begin to drive the heavenly Father and his beloved viceroy apart. When Lucifer eventually gives in to his dark desires, he is exiled to Earth, where he sets his depraved sights on vengeance against Yehovah. The newly crowned Satan's aim is simple: to obliterate the human race. Comparable to spiritual-themed, thought-provoking novels like Walter M. Miller Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz, Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt, and Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen's Heaven, Alec's The Fall of Lucifer is as enlightening as it is entertaining. And whether or not reading this religious fantasy turns out to be a life-changing experience, it will most definitely fuel hours of speculation and fiery debate among those who read it. Paul Goat Allen - bn.com Alec's quasi-fictional story is a behind-the-scenes look at Lucifer and his role in our history. ...Evil--and the depths it will go to--has always been a mystery to me. And right up there along with that, is the ultimate questions: Why would a being that dwelt with God, as one of His beloved, turn against Him?...The Fall of Lucifer addresses those two conundrums eloquently, in almost poetic terms. The transformation of Lucifer from devoted lover of God to evil destroyer of all things good, is presented in vivid, passionate terms that manage to bring you to the cusp of empathy for Lucifer--for a moment at least. - Margaret Becker |
