E.M.G.’s comments from the DOLLAR BOOKS group.

After centuries of lying buried a dark and dangerous book is unearthed. It holds great powers and secrets. Now in the hands of evil, its voice threatens to transform time, space and human existence. A battle between the dark forces of hell and the light of heaven shake the universe.

The living book has a metamorphic effect on Emperor Oswald, the leader of the alien army on Earth and gradually he changes from a man into a demonic beast. Humankind ravaged by war and disease rapidly yield to Oswald’s fearful rule. Drawn to the new Cathedrals and religion people are forced to witness the terror inflicted on those who resist their leaders.
Nobody is prepared for the coming catastrophic events.

This is the second book by Elizabeth Wixley that I have read. The first one In the Devil's Own Words completely blew me away and left me wanting more. This book is different because it is more of a prequel to the devils own but no less gripping. The start does introduce the main characters and their background quite abruptly and almost in a glib way, but very quickly the story really gets going and the believe me, the pages start to turn very quickly. How the writer finds the images in her mind that are portrayed in the story, I will never know but having read some best selling horror/apocalyptic/vampire/hybrid/monster...etc etc, these two stories are right up there with them in the way that you are taken on a journey and can picture and feel the atmosphere created using only words. A sequel to the devils own to add to this series is my request to the authorReflections

Wixley is good at showing us disturbed and fantastical characters. The particularly loathsome Bishop Francis, his brutality disguised as "fake compassion", whips up mass hysteria through fear; after his bizarre metamorphosis, he gloats that "fear is a great thing" as his victims are "... transformed into hollowness, free of emotions and dreams, unable to see the beauty in a flower, a sunset, a human face."
The horrid opponents to peace and justice keep coming: "Here was a magnificent beast, a black furred wolf-like creature" and "a creature of some height, neither man nor woman, a vision of shimmering blue-green ..." As the plague eats into the population, good people are pushed to the limits of their endurance. The exhausted Prime Minister has his work cut out!

The dreadful Francis is remorseless, devoid of emotional affect. After he slaughters the soldiers "like a farmer swiftly scything down the hay", he matter-of-factly tells his servant to "just sweep it all up".

This is the stuff of nightmares! Vividly described horrors. I told myself I must stop reading, but ... well, maybe later ... no, just a bit more. Aahhhhhh! It's over!In The Devil's Own Words
