The Way of Sorrows

Praise

“Steele’s dexterity in weaving sharply drawn, memorable characters into a multilayered story line is breathtaking, as is the pyrotechnic display of supernatural action that brings the series to a thrilling conclusion.”—Booklist

“Steele wraps up his apocalyptic Angelus trilogy with a bang.”—Publisher’s Weekly

Praise for Angel City

“This second volume seriously ramps up the action: Mysteries are explored but not yet fully explained, and the shocking final scenes are definitely intended to make us come back for the finale. Fans of The Watchers won’t want to miss this one.”—David Pitt, Booklist

“Steele’s sequel to 2012’s The Watchers does everything the middle of a trilogy should do…. a brutal cliffhanger… accessible to readers who missed the first book.”—Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Watchers 

“An imaginative metaphysical thriller… Steele keeps his tale tantalizingly ambiguous, casting it with fey characters and skillfully concealing until the climax whether apparent weird events haven’t been manipulated to make them seem so. This solidly plotted tale, the first in a trilogy, will appeal to readers who like a hint of uncanny in their fiction.”—Publishers Weekly

“A first novel (and first in a series) from Steele, for years a master cameraman for Independent Television News and author of War Junkie, an underground classic; really smart work for serious thriller readers.”—Library Journal

“Reads like Paradise Lost by way of John Connolly, although Steele, formerly a war reporter, brings hard-edged modernity to this timeless tale as he roots his depiction of evil in the contemporary world. Clever, stylish and epic in scale, it’s a tremendously satisfying debut.”—Irish Times

“A seductive cosmic thriller stoked by historic fact, an ancient Jewish religious text, and a literary classic… Steele’s lavishly atmospheric, witty, bloody, and swashbuckling tale of age-old struggles for dominion between angels and demons is the propitious first book in an ambitious series.”—Booklist (starred review)
