Angelkiller (The Angelkiller Triad) [Kindle Edition]

H. David Blalock (Author), Amanda DeBord (Editor), Matthew Perry (Illustrator)

Book Description

Why do bad things happen to good people? Simple. In the ancient war between the Angels of Light and Darkness, the Dark won. Now it is the job of an undercover force simply known as The Army to rectify that.

Using every tool available, The Army has worked to liberate our world from The Enemy for thousands of years, slowly and painfully lifting Mankind out of the dark. On the front of the great Conflict are the Angelkillers, veterans of the
fight with centuries of experience.

Jonah Mason is an Angelkiller, and his cell is targeted as part of plot to unseat a very powerful Minion of The Enemy. Mason and his troop are drawn into a battle that stretches from real-time to virtual reality and back. The Conflict is about to expand into cyberspace, and if Mason is unable to stop it, The Enemy will have gained dominion over yet another realm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great original spin on the age old good v evil. March 9, 2012

By Jessica @ Jess resides here

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a book that has had me curious. The blurb alone is interesting and while many a story is based on the basic premise of good v evil in this case the evil having won and are still waging the battle.

How curious to think that we live our lives and what with wars and religion being such big players in the lives of humans that we assume that good has won when in fact they have lost. You start to think of the world differently. I love that the story played with my head that way. I love that it's short only about 200 pages but breezes by such an easy enjoyable read. The end in particular I couldn't stop till I was done.

In addition to this interesting story point was that the Angelkillers yes they are the good guys hunting down evil would communicate in a very WOW like cyber world. The fact that this was how they stayed in touch was interesting in particular at the end with the big reveal. A story based on the age old good v evil played out in cyberspace was a fresh spin and one I really enjoyed. I like how out of the box it was, I really appreciated the uniqueness the author brought to the story.

Two things about the book. It is part one of a trilogy so character development was basic, in 200 pages the story was the focus. Not something that was bad or I could fault the author for simply that I found it more story driven than character focused. Second sometimes I found the characters confusing Azrael and Azazeal being the main issue.

I'm really looking forward to the next books in the story and hope that the good guys finally win. Yes I'm one of those people.Total must add to the TBR list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! July 3, 2012

By ADTonyD

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book really blew me away. I really liked the premise of the book, that of a spiritual war that has been fought throughout the ages. There were plot twist and directions taken that kept me guessing where the story would go. The ending left me wanting more. More on the conflict, more on the characters, more on everything! There were questions I would love to see the answers to, and I really want to know more about the main character, the decisions he has taken to get where he is, and where that will take him in the future. Like a great meal, this book filled me up, but left me looking forward to the next time I get to sit down and enjoy such a filling treat again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now let us reason together. June 24, 2012

By Ashwyn

Format:Kindle Edition

Across our new landscape of virtual worlds and imagination driven games continues the war between good and evil. David Blalock introduces us to the players still fighting the good fight characters that you will embrace, feel their pain and cheer them on. In a short amount of time I was completely entrenched in the struggles and the difficult decisions before them. Touched by the light that shines through I can only hope the wait for the next is not to far away! Buy this book and enjoy!
