"Cosmic battle of good and evil occurs in a high school"
Christopher, Jami and Holli Lewis are teens who fought one
battle in the cosmic war between Good and Evil. They are
now God's Eternal Warriors, fighting on the front lines
when they are called upon to defeat, at least temporarily,
the fallen angels. Christopher, who fought on the wrong
side before he saw the light, is much more serious about
the war around him then the twins who want to have a little
fun. The fallen angel Kaym vows retribution on his former
protégée Christopher for turning on him. He sees the tools
of his vengeance in high school seniors Brien and Derek,
victims of the school jocks who hold them in contempt and
consistently beat them up. Kaym intends to use Brien and
Derek to do it. Even a powerful fallen angel can forget
that in the war between evil and good, good will can
eventually triumph in unexpected ways. In THE WORLD IN SHADOW, the cosmic battle of good and evil
is played out against a high school in the heartland of
America. The novel can be read as visionary fiction or a
fantasy novel but either way Theodore Beale makes it lucid
that the light of goodness always clearly shines in the
darkest of night. The three protagonists are believable
characters, which makes their actions and decisions a
victory for fans. Harriet Klausner
