Immensely poetic and forceful, a fast-moving "Paradise Lost" for our generation. And with a treacherous twist--a new philosophy of origins of angels and man. Lucifer defies the hate of the selfish god, and with his legions, battles the war machines of heaven in an attempt to regain man's birthright: paradise and divine knowledge. After banishment to the void behind the stars, Lucifer must solve the riddle of the birth of the divine child. First publication in English, in spite of the Church.
