Description:
Long ago, an Angel surrendered his
memories and his power when he left Heaven behind, so that he could make a
difference in the real world. A couple thousand years walking amongst the
teaming masses of humanity has left him disillusioned, but he refuses to give
up. He spends his time with the forgotten souls of an urban slum, making a
difference wherever he can.
When Justin witnesses the brutal murder of a woman at the hands of a ruthless business tycoon, he must run before his eternal life is cut short. Justin must swallow his pride in order to save himself, and the one friend he has left. The journey back to the fold is filled with danger and discovery as he finds himself in a race towards the end of the world.

This was an amazing start
to the series! It is action packed from the very beginning and kept me in
suspense the whole way through. Eric Swett has written a marvellous novel which
has a fantastic plot and great character development.
Apocalypse Rising has an
interesting twist, as the end of the world may be near, we follow the days of
one Fallen Angel, Justin, who has forgotten his life prior to falling. He is
now on the run and we watch him rediscover himself again. There are plenty of people who don’t want him
to regain his memories because he may have a huge affect on the world and the
future!
Justin is a very strong
willed character and very serious. He has always wanted to save people, even
before he fell. He has a kind heart and always puts others before himself. I
really liked reading about Justin as he doesn’t jump head first into anything,
he takes his time, looks at all options before making his decisions. He will
have a huge impact on whether we all survive or not!!
We meet lots of
interesting characters from Elves to Warlocks, Demons and other Fallen Angels
from the Host and we discover their roles in the prophecy which may be coming
true. It has a bit of a biblical feel, as God has left his throne and Heavens
Gates are closed, so Justine has a massive role to play in saving the world. The
story takes plenty of unexpected twists and turns and will keep you enthralled
to the very end!!
