About this ebook

Angel of Mailànkh

Book 1 (first volume) of The Angel Brings Fire series

Earth's second manned expedition to Mars is looking forward to a historic expedition of science and exploration. However, the enthusiasm of Commander Sam Jacobson's five-person crew is about to be severely tested : news arrives that Earth is under threat of annihilation, due to an impending collision with a comet named "Lucifer".

But the crew of the Eagle II Mars lander have a mission to complete; so, with heavy hearts, they set out to explore the surface of the Red Planet, before starting their grim return-trip to a doomed world.

Little do they know that the fate of the Earth will soon rest on the slender shoulders of an enigmatic, self-doubting “Angel”, who lies asleep... and... awaits.

Ratings and reviews

This book was really an inspiration to my son to become an astronaut ! We loved it because it was a really cool story about an expedition on mars that started out being an exploration but as you read..it develops into havoc, and drama for a five-crew team were not expecting to find the Earth in such a ruined place of annihilation. The book is somewhat longer than usual but it's worth a few bucks for loads of suspense. Amazingly Powerful Story With Suspense That will have you reading some sections again !

About the author

Having been an avid consumer (and part-time supplier) of science fiction and fantasy content is nothing new to Marcus Shields, who has been partaking thereof since he was old enough to read (modesty precludes the author from revealing exactly how long ago, that was).

Shields is responsible for a large number of creative works, including the Shakhan series of pen and paper fantasy role-playing games. And, of course, he's the author of the "Angel Brings Fire", "Future Burns Bright" and "Bonnie's New Auntie" series of science fiction / modern fantasy / superhero novels.

Marcus Shields resides in beautiful Ontario Cottage Country, where he shares a comfortable home with his wife, daughter and the memory of a beloved but now departed, puppy dog.
