But those you can’t…are still there…some of them watch over us. The immortals have suffered a near total annihilation throughout the world; from Miami to Paris, Cairo and Sri Lanka; throughout time and history; from ancient Biblical times, towards the Renaissance, the Dark Ages and Modern-Day cosmopolitan cities. The immortals were dying. A gifted girl loses her parents in close succession and fights with God in between visits from the Devil. As a woman, she leaves home and discovers Vaudeville in Paris, and la passion de la vanit . During that time, the myth of angels - in particular, a War Angel - among the populace was substantial, leading to questions: Who is the War Angel? And could the War Angel save the immortals from extinction? A.L. Mengel crafts a patchwork of lush, provocative storytelling; voluptuous prose; elegant, exquisite description; set against the backdrop of glorifying the grandiose battle of Good versus Evil. War Angel will speak to believers - and non-believers - alike.
