In the book of Revelation it mentions a scroll with seven seals. What if this scroll was hidden on earth? When an old man dies in Liverpool his flat is emptied by Joe and his friends and a strange looking book comes into Joe’s keeping. Soon he finds what trouble comes with the book when he watches his friend Toby being tortured then killed before his eyes. A man he recently met rescues him from possibly the same fate. Soon he finds out the man that saved him is more than just a man and that those that are after him aren’t what they appear to be. Demons and Angels don’t really exist yet Joe now knows they do and the book mustn’t fall to the wrong side or it may spell the end of everything.

What a great start...easy to read with a good flow. I particularly like the lines, "...his memory had become filled with holes. They weren't gaping caverns of darkness, just momentary dark spots..." and "...blood pooled around his head like a halo..." Some good descriptions casting shadows of deeper meaning... I will read the rest of the story when I next fill my basket...but then I am a fan of Billy Young's writing so it'll be a pleasure to finish it. Well, now I have and it wasn't a disappointment. Being deeply rooted in 'reality' gave the fantasy elements a definite ring of truth. It was easy to read and I certainly enjoyed the touches of humour, particularly within the dialogue. It was full of riddles and myth and questions where us humans long for answers. There were some brilliant lines and fantastic descriptions, such as, '...acrid smell of cooking flesh mixed with the heavy choking fumes from the bubbling...' Overall, a good insight into the human condition... More > /real lives, where the reader soon understands /relates to the characters involved - great pictures and an excellent story leaving even more questions at the end. Clever and thought-provoking...I liked it. Julie Elizabeth Powell, author of Slings & Arrows, Gone, Knowing Jack, The Star Realm and Invasion< Less
