Angelic Wars: First Rebellion

Have you ever wondered how evil began? Or why God gave angels the free will to reject Him?

Angelic Wars, First Rebellion is the epic story of the battle between good and evil before Earthly time began. It is the fantasy story of the internal struggles and external battles among the angels for the control of Heaven during Satan’s rebellion, as mentioned in the Bible. Angel Azarias and six other angels are commissioned as the “Angels Septemviri” by God’s Guardian Cherub to seek out and conquer a rising rebellion in Heaven. Little do they know that they are up against the most powerful angel of all, Satan, who lures other angels into his rebellious army in his attempt to conquer Heaven. Will the Septemviri resist Satan’s temptations and save Heaven?

Angelic Wars, First Rebellion is one of the most unique books you will read; it breaks new ground by incorporating original music sung by the book’s characters when the reader activates hyper-links (or QR Codes) in the book. It is also unique in that it includes footnotes to the bible, which ground the story, its dialogue, and setting in the Bible.

This action-adventure musical novel reminds the reader of certain aspects of the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars but occurring in place in Heaven. This novel tells the fictional story of the first fight between good and evil and sets the stage for all others that follow.

The market for biblically based entertainment is emerging. Releases of Biblical fiction series such as The Chosen and the Jesus Revolution movie have awakened many with a passion for religious content. The Angelic Wars musical novel series goes farther in that it is written so that even the non-religious might enjoy the stories as fantasy or sci-fi like (Lord of the Rings).
