Apocalypse Array

Summary: Science fiction seemingly torn from today's headlines.
Review: Lyda Morehouse has done it again! The latest additon to her Archangel series continues the stories of endearing characters such as De, Rye, Michael, Morningstar, and Mouse. The plot is full of rich and rewarding twists and turns--enough to keep you guessing until the last page. The people (and angels) represent enough different cultures to make nearly anyone feel included.

What makes this series especially engaging is the inclusion of current issues . Morehouse uses situations in the book to criticize the increasingly theocratic tendencies of some governments. She skillfully counters the Biblical arguments against some issues. Likewise, she examines prophecy from many angles.

I found particularly amusing a reference to my alma mater. A quote was even attributed to a thinly-veiled professor under whom I studied. It was one of those hidden gems which make no real difference to the average reader but are treasured by those of us in the know.

Ms. Morehouse, I wish you a long and successful career. Keep the Archangel stories coming!
