Adversary is the third and final book in the They Who Fell series, which readers are calling "absolutely epic" and a "fantastic tale." Jana, Rhamiel, and Thane are on the run, pursued by Suriel and an army of seraphs who've bent their knees in servitude. They thought he was the only threat they faced, and they thought they'd found a way to hide away until her pregnancy was over and the Son could return to the world again. But darker things have come to Earth than Suriel, and the Cherubim are working strange magics from their Hive. Things from Lucifer's Pit are finding their way out of their cage and into the world, and they come whispering about Lucifer himself. Hiding isn't an option anymore, and the only choice left to Jana and Rhamiel is to fight. They need old allies to do it, along with whatever new ones they can scrounge, and the fate of the world will be decided by a final battle with the architect of Heaven's first rebellion. Here's what readers are saying about the They Who Fell series: "Holy awesome surprise! Mr. Kneupper hooked me with the first chapter and kept me turning pages until I finished the book in one sitting. Excellent writing, great characterization and a phenomenal plot landed They Who Fell at a solid 5 star rating.By turning the traditionally ingrained idea of benevolent angles on its head and creating a plausible set of circumstances, I seriously questioned what would happen if a second heavenly fall occurred. Would the angels I've viewed as guardians become my worst nightmare? Would God turn his back on all of His creations and let the outcome be determined by the players themselves?" -Renee, Amazon Reviewer "In a word, WOW!!! This book was sad, scary, disturbing and fascinating all at the same time. I didn't want to put it down. As a believer, it had me asking what if? The story made me think and I like that about books. I can't wait for the next installment because I want to know what's going to happen next. Is humanity redeemed? Who knows but I can't wait." -Bookworm2015, Amazon Reviewer "I found the story incredibly fascinating, as seen through the eyes of an innocent young woman who was brought to the angels' stronghold, The Tower, too young to even remember what it was like on the outside.I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is vastly different from any of books I have read to date. Humans tend to think of angels as benevolent beings...and they were...but when they "Fell," they seemed to have lost their compassion for the human race. The author created an angelic caste system of sorts, as well as his own idea of angelic politics. I was enthralled and couldn't help but barrel through the book to see where the next page took me." -Paiutedancer, Amazon Reviewer "I came back after reading the second book to write this review. I couldn't wait to see what befell these characters next! I was intrigued and horrified at how these Angels acted! This is not the typical, Angels trying to save humanity story, it's like a science experiment gone horribly awry, like pulling the wings off of flies! I cannot wait to see if the Author expands on this storyline and I hope he does because I am hooked!" -Kim61, Amazon Reviewer… (plus d'informations)

Jana and Rhamiel are on the run from Suriel and the other Angels when they get sucked into a strange, evil area changed by the Cherubim who are now working with Lucifer. A good read. A little clunky with the way some of the once major characters are largely written out but overall enjoyable. ( )
