Compendium Twenty Three: Part I - Through the Valley

Jacob Curzo Crawley believes he is a less than interesting construction worker living in the heartland. He thought he was destined for greater things after he saved the life of a classmate in high school, but the opportunities did not present themselves as he had hoped. On a typical ride to work one morning he is confronted by a stranger who appears out of thin air next to him in his little red pickup truck, nearly costing them their lives. Much to Jacob’s disbelief the man claims to be his guardian angel, Maddox. But Jacob is not the only human to learn that they have been followed for their entire lives by a guardian. Rather, the entire world now faces the fact that there is a God, a Devil and servants of both struggling to control the Earth. Jacob, his friend Pete, a former flame Quinn and a cocky tag-along named Luke are accompanied by their angels and enjoy a time of peace and enlightenment that is interrupted 7 days after "A-Day" by forces that are eager to take over the world once and for all.
