Publisher Description
Once he was known as the Angel Remiel, but generations ago, Boston PI Remy Chandler chose to renounce heaven and live on earth, where he found a secure place among us ordinary humans…
But now, having lost the love of his life, Remy finds himself turning more and more away from his human friends and his everyday existence. He’s begun to seek out dangerous jobs—those that involve the supernatural, those that bring him into contact with his past.
Like his latest case: the theft of a cache of ancient weaponry stolen from a collector who deals in antiquities of a dark and dubious nature. The weapons, Remy knows, were forged aeons ago and imbued with unimaginable power. If they fall into the wrong hands, they could be used to destroy not only Heaven but also Earth. And to prevent that, Remy Chandler must decide whether he is willing to lose the last of his own humanity…
Customer Reviews
Disappointing
As a PI novel the book is mediocre; filled with obvious plot twists you can see coming from a mile away, and raging anticlimax story arcs that leave you wondering why you even bothered to listen to the preview.
The author's understanding of reality and angels could be called infantile at best. His efforts to paint God as powerful but limited, uncaring tyrant is just sad and the depiction of angels as little more than flying humans with a grudge, depressing. Coupled with a main character who exhibits B-horror movie intelligence and language reminiscent of a junior high locker room, Dancing on the Head of a Pin is one of those books that lurks around the corner waiting for you to waste $17.95. Lost in a $.25 box on a garage sale table would be a fitting place for this novel disappointment.
Put simply: this book bit.
