Back Cover Synopsis

At the dawn of
time, two ancient adversaries battled for control of Earth.  One man rose to
stand at humanity's side.  A soldier whose name we still remember today…

Angelic Special Forces
Colonel Mikhail Mannuki'ili awakens, mortally wounded, in his crashed ship. 
The woman who saves his life has abilities which seem familiar, but with no
memory of his past, he can't remember why!  With his ship destroyed and a
shattered wing, he has no choice but to integrate into her village.

Ninsianna's people
have prophecies of a winged champion, a Sword of the Gods who will defend her
people against an Evil One.  Mikhail insists he's no demi-god, but her dark
premonitions and his uncanny ability to kill say otherwise.  Even without the
technology destroyed along with his ship, the sword he carries is a weapon of
mass destruction to a people who still throw sticks and stones.  When young
women start to disappear, Mikhail must organize her people to fight back.

Evil whispers to a
sullen Prince.  A dying species seeks to avoid extinction.  Two emperors,
entrenched in their ancient ideologies, cannot see the larger threat.  As
intrigues roil the heavens, a tiny Mesopotamian town becomes ground-zero for
this fantasy fiction retelling of mankind's most epic story about the battle
between good and evil, the clash of empires and ideologies, and the greatest
superhero to ever walk the Earth.  The Archangel Mikhail.
