Traitors Rise

When Colin Carpenter unexpectedly finds himself in Heaven he feels sure that the shock will kill him – that is until he realizes he is already dead! As if this revelation were not enough, he is confronted by a camp, bright blue toilet-brush claiming to be his Heavenly guide who rattles off information at break-neck speed before calmly announcing that Colin has the opportunity to become an Angel. Welcome to the After-life!

Colin quickly learns an afterlife in Heaven is not all about reclining on clouds and painting rainbows. There are jobs to do and order to maintain and as he starts to become aware, not all is as it should be. There are dark forces at work and the Angels are hard pressed to keep the peace. From Warrior Angels to Admin Angels, all have their part to play in the management of Heaven and the ongoing battle with the Demons and Colin has to choose his path wisely.

It is at Angel University that he is provided with the information and skills he needs to make those choices. But is it too late? For a traitor is lurking, awaiting an opportunity to destroy the hold the Angels have and give the Demons ascendancy.

With him on his journey are characters such as Deidre, his wise and helpful and perhaps not exactly all that she claims to be, guide. There are his friends at University including the matronly, mousey but quite OCD Abigail Brown, the teacher and exotic Professor Xn and of course the dashing and debonair co-human Zac Woolfe. Add to this the affections of a minute Wood Nymph by the name of Bimbo, the overtures of one Luke J Iffer (aka Lucifer himself) and the interest of the very senior Archangel Arismael and it seems Colin has more than enough to keep him occupied.

Set against a heavenly backdrop, a fierce battle looms between Angels and Demons, each fighting for the right to run the Celestial Plane. Colin and his fellow students are oblivious to these rumblings until a massive and damaging attack on Heaven itself shocks them to the core.

Can an ex-civil servant from Planet Earth really play any part in the great happenings of this time? Does he offer any skills to the warriors of Heaven or will he be tempted by the offerings of those representing Hell? Either way Colin Carpenter has become crucial to both sides. A fact he will come face to face with whether he likes it or not.
