About the author

Nick Iuppa is also known as Nicholas Victor.

Always wanted to work in the movies. College got me an internship at MGM, and I worked on TV specials with Dr. Seuss and Chuck Jones (creator of the Road Runner). Became good friends with both of them. Later wrote for the Wonderful World of Disney. Went to Paramount Pictures where I designed internet entertainment and built Hollywood-style training simulations for the military. But the movie business made it hard to express my own personal creativity. (Too many decision makers). So, I started writing novels so that I could control everything. My first sci-fi novel was about a high tech simulation that was invaded by vampires. Wrote others inspired by Stephen King's deep, creepy characters. Now I work with a writing partner, John Pesqueira, and things are much simpler, only one person to argue with. I love developing characters and letting them tell me where the story is supposed to go. These days, my one of my favorite people is Babcia, the five-hundred-year-old witch who is the power behind all the goings on in 1960's Hollywood animation storytelling and in Zakopane Poland... gateway to Rapunzel's Tower where Adolph Hitler once spent a horrific night.

[D. Thrush · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read an early ARC of this book. I’ve read several books by Nick Iuppa, and I’m always intrigued by his unique premises. Evolution’s Angels is about children scattered around the world who are displaying unusual traits that Dr. Kelly believes may be the next step in human evolution. These children can control machines with their thoughts and communicate telepathically with each other and have a silvery glow to their eyes. As word gets out about the children, there’s a radio shock jock who promotes fear and violence against them and whips up quite a rabid following. Dr. Kelly would like to bring some of these children to Leland University where she can study, observe, and protect them. The tension escalates as people begin to hunt them and strive to eradicate them. There’s also some humor as Dr. Wentworth, Dr. Kelly’s boss, who is a best-selling romance novelist, works on his latest book. I liked how this tied into events that unfolded. There are some minor errors, and I think some scenes could’ve been more fleshed out. But I always enjoy Iuppa’s books and interesting storylines. This book has much food for thought.
