Description
A Field Guide To The Angels in Brooklyn tells a story about the beautiful borough of Brooklyn in Nieuw Amsterdam Stad, where we meet minor, midrange, and Major Arcana Devils who are cab drivers, bartenders, police officers, ruthless criminals, lawyers, and art gallery owners. This book is also about Angels Unfallen, principally Alastar Connor, the very confused Earth Angel, plus other mid-level angels who masquerade as humans. One of these is a hippy who has passed his use-by date, and others are the extraordinary women who are Alastar Connorís best (and only) hope for staying on the right side of universal history.
Alastar Connor owns the 83 Gallery in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. When not selling surrealist art, he enjoys spending his time with his soul mate, Sheila Divine, and friends in Corlear Beach. Alastar doesn't know it yet, but he is about to be misidentified as a Fallen Cherub by the name of Alastarus, who was recently freed from the Lake of Fire by the Fallen Cherub Goochelaar Kwaad. It is Kwaad, self-absorbed and vain, who sets in motion a series of events which will cause Alastar, Sheila, and their friends to participate in possibly universe-ending events. Their story is a wild and exhilarating ride through Brooklyn, De Grote Appel, and the spirit plane.
