Historical and Biblical Influences Make This Thriller a Super-naturally Good Read
In J.A. Leary's new paranormal thriller "The Angel Hunter," a determined mother searches for her twin sons, after their mysterious disappearance leaves her terrified and questioning her deepest-held beliefs.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) April 21, 2008 -- When Victoria Hunter's twin sons mysteriously disappear late one night, she never dreamed the ensuing drama would reveal an incredible secret about her children's profound destiny. Author J.A. Leary spins an intense, fast-paced tale about Victoria's quest to find her children in his new supernatural thriller, "The Angel Hunter" (ISBN 9781595072160, ABISVC, 2007).
Victoria Hunter is an exceptionally bright young woman whose life is filled with tragedy and joy. Her twin sons are her life, but they were born shortly after her beloved husband's unexpected death in a skydiving accident. Two unusual things happen when the boys disappear: two strange German men come to her home to tell Victoria she's the mother of the new Reich, when a powerful, ethereal wind blows through her nursery.
After her sons vanish, Victoria suffers from extreme posttraumatic stress, severe enough to erase the memory of her children. As her agony deepens, others begin to think she's mentally ill and an FBI agent postulates Victoria is responsible for her sons' disappearance. Only Victoria's psychiatrist thinks she's telling the truth. When Victoria decides to take matters into her own hands, she feels drawn to a grotto on the campus of her Alma Mater, the University Notre Dame in Indiana. There an intense human drama unfolds as Victoria begins the fight for the souls of her children.
"The Angel Hunter" pulls in significant historical and biblical references--from the rise of the Third Reich, to the Ark of the Covenant, to the lost book of Enoch--to tell the story of Victoria's spiritual journey as the mystery of her sons' destiny unfolds. Throughout the novel, Victoria is presented with certain facts and circumstances that push her to shed her old dogmas and theocracies, but in the end, when dire circumstances strike, Victoria is a woman empowered by her maternal fire.
"The Angel Hunter" is cutting-edge paranormal thriller that, on the surface, delivers readers everything they can expect from the genre: a fast-paced, exciting book fueled by science, theology, history and socio-economics. But, if readers choose to delve into its underlying message, they can take a wakeful journey that may lead them to examine their belief systems and how they perceive the world, for a more conscious, meaningful life.
