Humanity was saved by angels thousands of years ago. They sent us across space to colonise the stars, then 500 years ago, they vanished, leaving humanity to fend for itself. This led to the rise of all manner of cults and corporations, all with their own views on how things should be done.
Rachel Jordan is an angelologist and the hero of our tale. Fired from her job as a university lecturer for teaching heretical ideas, she now tracks down angel artefacts. Sent on a mission to retrieve the Sefer Raziel, potentially the key to unlocking the angel code, she finds out she may have bitten off more than she can chew. While she's tough, Rachel can't rake on the galaxy herself, so she employs a bodyguard, Knight, on the former prison planet of Gehenna, who looks like he can.
Meanwhile Rachel's former beau, Mac, finds out she's in trouble and goes against his better judgement and decides he needs to track her down before worse does. In a rare moment of oddness, despite the supposed breeding out racial differences over the years, Mac still manages to maintain a Scottish accent. Anyway that's a minor quibble.
There is an interesting plot, great worldbuilding,fight scenes galore, and some punchy dialogue in a fine space opera that will keep you intrigued throughout. The narrator does a fine job too.
