Destroyer from the Lost Planet is the enthralling third book in the science-fiction series From Heaven To Earth They Came. If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you’ll love Neal Roberts’ historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival.
The power-hungry and much-despised Anzû, frustrated by the failure of his attack on a summit meeting attended by his Anunnaki foes, begins a campaign to drive a wedge between the Anunnaki and humankind. His devious plan is to persuade Ambassador David Schubert that Enki (half-brother to the Anunnaki king) has always been humanity’s enemy, and that David will need the immortality that Anzû can bestow in order to save the beloved Queen Inanna from an approaching celestial collision.
In the event of hostilities between the Anunnaki and Anzû, where Earth will be their battleground, it is clear to everyone that either side would be capable of destroying its enemy’s command-and-control by means of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can be created by detonating a high capacity nuclear bomb at high altitude. As an EMP would confer a marked advantage upon the first side to use it, it is a highly destabilizing weapon. Anzû, having long seethed over ancient slights, is desperate to gain this advantage to wreak vengeance on those who he believes betrayed him.
As David struggles to avert a cataclysmic war, he learns of the Anunnaki lore of a “Destroyer” who, having defeated Anzû in ancient times, is destined to return and defeat him once again. With tensions rising on Earth, David and U.S. Navy Commander Catharine Weldon are dispatched on a diplomatic journey to the pyramidion of Enlil, King of Nibiru, where the Destroyer is believed to reside.
The Destroyer, long in love with the beautiful Queen Inanna, enters the fray at last. But even he cannot save the Anunnaki and humankind without David’s help, for no one but David can approach Anzû closely enough to defeat his destructive plans. With the Destroyer’s help — and with Earth in the balance — can David thwart Anzû’s plans for world domination?
Will David himself prove to be the new Destroyer?

This is a nicely done series. I took it slow and it was a week’s reading…but it’d be a great story for a long flight. It’s a novel use of the Annunaki trope. And I’m glad to see that the writer did due diligence. Certainly they’re familiar with Sit hind work. So it tracks nicely for anyone that’s familiar.
The first book was an amazing concept where the story flowed with interesting characters and the ins and outs of a mystery with many twists. The following two books are equally as good and all the loose ends are tied up. Excellent writing! You will enjoy this series if your looking for a new Author. Well done Mr. Roberts!
This book fell short of the previous two. I'm not even one-third of the way through and struggling to finish. The dialog is stifled, the attempted comical banter is lame and has too many explanation conversations. Wondering if the author was in a hurry to finish this book? Will probably stick it out until the end, but this isn't satisfying my reading addiction.
I could not put these books down. I read until early hours of the morning. I am amazed at the use of historical people and events and bringing to life in the present and their abilities of space travel. The ancient gods were aliens after all.
Not a well developed plot or conclusion. At times, it seemed pedantic and slow moving. I was excited by the concept, but it failed to live up to the hype. Kept moving from book to book thinking something was going to happen, but it really never did.
