If you are a fan of Steve Jackson's 'In Nomine' game (as I am) then this book and the rest of the series are a god-send!

Rather than hunting through the core rulebook, the angelic/infernal guides, and the revelations books to patch together a complete picture of the War Faction superiors, it has all been collected into this one source.

In this book you will find the complete enteries for the four Angelic superiors who make up Heaven's War Faction - David, Archangel of Stone, Dominic - Archangel of Judgement, Laurence, Archangel of the Sword, and Michael, Archangel of War.

Under each archangel, you have details relating to Dissonance, Choir Attunements, Servitor Attunements, Distinctions, Relations, Basic Rites, Expanded Rites, and Invocation (basically all of the game mechanics that relate to that Superior.

Then the entry goes into more of a narative of the Superior. While this more detailed sections share some similarities they are most unique. They describe the Superior's divine history, personality and outlook, Views on God and Man, the Superior's priorities, role in the War, its goals and politics. Each entry is then finished with a sample Tether (David and Michael) or example Servitors (Dominic and Laurence).

The book ends with nearly a dozen pages of adventure seeds covering all four superiors.

If you play In Nomine or are thinking about it, then you need this book. You could probably do without the Angelic/Infernal guides if you bought all four books in this series.

I'll repeat the warning that appears on all of the In Nomine books - this game features interpretations of religious themes that may upset some people.
