I
cannot
wait
to
see
this
one!
Simply

Miller
is
a
brilliant
writer
for
adults
as
well
as
teens.
“This classic good vs. evil spellbinding novel grips readers throughout as the audience and the Watchers learn of the heaven-hell war on earth … a delightful good, bad and ugly apocalyptic chronicle.”
'An apocolyptic series with an evangelical subtext kicks off with this high octane thrill ride. Five pre-teens were best friends once, sharing a mystical bond transcending race and class. But that was seven years ago, before something horrible happened, something that they can't remember, that tore them apart, that sent them drifting into drugs, crime and despair; something that is now stalking their nightmares, drawing them back together to become embroiled in an ancient battle between the angels of light and darkness. The plot is cleverly constructed with short chapters dissolving present and past, creating a phantasmagoric effect that constantly ratchets up the adrenaline level. While the heroes are sympathetic and fundamentally decent, they are presented with a graphic realism uncommon in Christian fiction and seem far older than their supposed years. The large cast, many supporting sound-alike or exotic names, can be confusing, and it’s not quite clear exactly what happens at the climax beyond a busload of setup for future books. Still, the combination of vivid cinematic detail, gritty adolescent angst and spectacular supernatural should prove irresistible.' –
Sam Becker doesn’t know what to think when he starts hearing Jonah’s voice. It makes as much sense as the nightmares, or the words that appear in his journal. But when he finds himself painting pictures of the four best friends he hasn’t seen in seven years, he remembers the beings that chased him, along with Jonah, Carly, TJ and Jenna. He didn’t know that the beings had come back for all of them, or that the five of them are Watchers, capable of seeing both the MazziKim (fallen angels) and the Irinim (God’s warring angels). The five must fight together in order to save each other, as they realize that they have won the battle, but not the war. This apocalyptic novel is written in short chapters, giving readers the points of view of all five characters as they struggle to understand what is going on now, and to remember what happened to them seven years ago. The large cast will provide sympathetic characters that readers will like; these include the nineteen-year-old single mother Jenna, whose appealing five-year-old son, Mikey, is the next generation of Watcher, and a former gang member trying to redeem himself. Readers who enjoy complicated plots and casts of characters will look forward to the next book in this series.---Betsy Fraser, VOYA August 2010
This book offers well-polished and likable characters surrounded by a masterful and disturbing atmosphere of paranoid-schizophrenic chill. Alas, the mystery of the opening was better than the revealing of the rest.-Sebastien Wen, Teen Reviewe, VOYA August 2010

Descriere
Remember
these
words
well.
It’s
only
a
thin
veil
that
separates
them
from
our
world.
As
time
grows
near,
they
will
return
to
make
their
war
upon
mankind.
They
will
torment,
attack,
and
cause
destruction
on
this
planet.
They
will
never
hunger;
they
will
never
sleep.
They
will
walk
amongst
us
unseen.
Invisible
to
all
but
those
born
to
see.
And
each
generation
of
five
that
sees
shall
endure
more
than
the
last.
But
the
final
generation
of
Watchers
will
not
only
endure,
not
only
watch…
…THEY
WILL
FIGHT.
