With When Angles Have Risen author Andrew Feder has created a very unusual way to depict the fight of good against evil but it works well.

Jerry Fletcher is going to Las Vegas to start his life totally over. He has had enough. He had helped his father with the family business only to have trouble with the IRS. The D.A. harassed him over child support. A judgment had his license to do insurance repair suspended by the Attorney General. He has had enough of California so he packs up and moves to Nevada.
 
He gets a new job, new apartment and is moving forward. On a hike with friends he gets ahead of them and gets, literally, “beamed up” by aliens. The description of the involvement of the aliens, star souls, light and dark angels is a bit intricate at first but, as it plays out in the story, it makes sense.  Following his visit with the aliens, Jerry has a purpose in his life. He has a message to spread to as many people as he can. But there are those that don’t want the message spread.
 
What follows is an action packed saga between good and evil with an underlying love story thrown in. Going beneath the surface of the story though there are some deeper, good messages. Feder covers a lot of ideas on religion and government in his slim, 125 page book. The only problem I had with the book, and granted it might be because I’m old fashion, is that every time God was mentioned in the text it was “G-d”. For me, that isn’t reverence it’s a profanity but like I said maybe I’m old fashion - it drove me nuts. Overall though, it is a good story that keeps you turning the pages
