DESCRIPTION:
Slow, deep and enriching Reviewer Mike Perschon has given a good overview of the story and great guidance on its best audience. To it, I should like to add the recommendation that those readers who pick it up settle down with Heaven's War somewhere quiet, with time to devote to it. Those who are seeking quick entertainment will do neither it nor themselves justice. Some may find this story a slow starter, but there are rich depths that will reward the persistent, and those who go back for a second read will find elements have taken on new levels. If readers aren't familiar with the persons and philosophies involved, th. hohum I was looking forward to an active, meaningful discourse on the war between Heaven and Hell for control of existence. I mean, that is what it's all about, isn't it? Instead, I found myself reading a rather stilted, artistically static, lackadasical story which didn't do much to enlighten, or entertain. The annotataions at the end of the book are interesting; but, since they didn't do anything for the story as I read it, weren't that meaningful to me. To be honest, I wasn't impressed. I guess I'm a Tolkien fan and want orcs, goblins, and demons spewing blood. This book just didn't do it for me.. Evan Day said A Definite Thumbs Up, If You're Willing to Invest an Effort. To appreciate Heaven's War, I had to give it a few rereads. First off, though CS Lewis and Tolkien are important characters, the story's central figure is the lesser known inkling, Charles Williams. I can't speak authoritatively, having never read Williams, but it apparently is written in his style and follows the themes of his books. I suspect some fans of Lewis and Tolkien will be slightly disappointed, but for what the author is attempting to accomplish here, I have to admit it works.In short, Aleister Crowley is seeking secrets of the Rennes-le-Chateau and is pursuing an aging Arthur Waite
Lewis, and Charles Williams — oppose him. And, for one of the Inklings, the pursuit will reach outside time itself.. 1938: As the world moves toward global war, a secret angelic battle is waged in the heavenly realms to determine mankind's fate. Only "The Inklings" — fantasy authors J.R.R. They must decipher a landscape of sacred geometry to intercept Crowley at the threshold of heaven. The infamous Aleister Crowley plans to manipulate those angelic struggles and thus shape the world according to his will. Tolkien, C.S
