Agent Bernadette Callahan was used to jetting off at the
last minute when Section, a U.S. Intelligence agency, sent
her off on assignment. But when Bernadette is sent to
Brazil to investigate the death of international pop star,
Gabriela Zuada, the special agent questions why the U.S.
government is interested in the death of a Christian pop
singer. The scene of the crime not only baffles the local
police, but Bernadette can find no explanation for what she
finds. The singer's body was burned beyond recognition,
however, the room she was found in shows no sign of a fire,
or even the smell of gasoline. Callahan's immediate
reaction was that the singer was murdered, but the local
police seem to think Gabriela was the victim of something
supernatural. The appearance of a Satanic symbol near where
Gabriela was found lead Callahan to believe she was
murdered by a serial killer with an interest in the occult.
Callahan gets some help from Professor Sebastian "Batty"
LaLaurie, an eccentric professor of biblical studies from
Louisiana. Batty's over-the-top lectures and tendency to
arrive at work intoxicated have nearly cost him his job on
more than one occasion. Batty has been drinking his
troubles away since his wife, Rebecca, died in a horrible
fire. But Batty knows the fire was no accident. He knows
exactly who killed her, or better yet what killed her --
demons.
After Batty is involved in a fight outside a local bar he
is abducted and awakens in Brazil at the hands of Agent
Callahan. Neither Batty nor Bernadette seem to know why the
government would want a professor involved in the
investigation of Gabriela Zuada's death, but after Batty
visits the scene of the crime and the home of the singer,
he knows why the singer was murdered. Gabriela's home
reveals a profound obsession with poet John Milton's
Paradise Lost, an epic poem about Lucifer's fall from
grace. When Batty finds a religious medal he always
ascribed to legend, he realizes the singer was a member of
the Custodes Sacri, a group of guardians assigned to
protect an individual who holds to power to save mankind
from Lucifer.
Lucifer's fallen angels are on earth and ready for the
battle. In order to stop the demons from opening the seven
gates of hell, which will free Lucifer, they must find the
person the Custodes Sacri are protecting. Batty believes
the identity of the person is revealed in the original copy
of John Milton's Paradise Lost, but the original copy has
been lost through the centuries. Batty and Callahan must
find the book in order to save humanity from becoming
slaves to Lucifer and his demons.
Dan Brown has competition! Robert Browne has written an
explosive novel that is worthy of playing out on the big
screen. THE PARADISE PROPHECY is a novel about the ultimate
battle between good and evil. But it reads more like a Dan
Brown novel as Batty and Bernadette attempt to decode
Paradise Lost while the clock is ticking for humanity.
Robert Browne has included various characters related to
Lucifer in Milton's Paradise Lost to help Lucifer as his
demons prepare for the final battle against their creator.
God, Lucifer, angels, demons, and a poet who has been dead
for over four hundred years make for one "hell" of a novel!
When God cast the archangel Satan into Hell, ending the War
in Heaven, peace prevailed on Earth. Until the fallen angels
took revenge in the Garden of Eden. Ever since, mankind has
been in a struggle between good and evil,
paradise and apocalypse: the fall of Rome, the Crusades,
world wars, nuclear
proliferation, the Middle East crisis. The War in Heaven
never really ended—it
just changed venues. For millennia, God’s angels have been
fighting Satan’s
demons on Earth, all in hopes of bringing about Satan’s
greatest ambition—the
apocalypse.
And he has never been closer to his goal than right now.
Agent Bernadette Callahan is a talented investigator at a
shadowy government
organization known only as Section, on the trail of a serial
killer with
nearly supernatural abilities. Sebastian “Batty” LaLaurie is
a religious historian who
knows far too much about the other side—and that hard-earned
knowledge is
exactly what Callahan needs. This unlikely duo pairs up for
a race across the
globe, decoding clues left in ancient texts from the Bible
to Paradise Lost and
beyond. In the process they stumble upon a vast
conspiracy—one beyond the
scope of mankind’s darkest imagination.
