Excerpts from the Preface to Harbinger of Doom:

Floating at the surface of the Harbinger of Doom stories (commonly known as the Thetian Saga) are action, heroism, villainy, fantastical creatures, magic, and intrigue, obvious and entertaining to all those that skim its pages. But for those who delve deeper, the Thetian tales present truths both shocking and eternal. The nature of good and evil is explored in ways that led to the Saga’s banning for either religious or political reasons in much of Western Europe for centuries. Ironically, a more careful reading of a wider swath of Thetian canon affirms the time-honored truths and values taught by the Church and upheld by the best of nations.

The Thetian Saga presents a vast, complex world populated by a myriad of memorable characters, and beset with magic, monsters, mystery, myth, and mayhem. It is epic fantasy on its grandest scale. Dropping a reader somewhere amidst that maelstrom is a daunting prospect for author and reader alike. To ease the entrance, I begin the telling with the novella, The Gateway, which is decidedly not epic in scope but introduces some of the most beloved characters of the saga, showcases Theta at his finest, and features the realistic, gritty action the Saga is known for, while also hinting at the wonders and mystery that define the ancient world of Midgaard. Fantasy readers may find it reminiscent in scope and feel to some of Robert E. Howard’s stories of Conan, Kull, or Solomon Kane. Subsequent volumes of the Saga expose the reader to the vast landscape of Midgaard as the Saga’s reach spirals outward and becomes truly epic in scale and complexity.

As you take your first dip into the waters of Midgaard and experience the vivid descriptions of the landscape and the heart-thumping action, you may, as I do, feel the urge to pick up a sword and dive into the fray. Although we can’t fight at Theta's side, take solace that we can revel in his exploits and follow him again and again as he strides across Midgaard in the days of high adventure.

Review by: Larry B Gray on Aug. 07, 2011 :
The Fallen Angle is the second book in The Harbinger of Doom Saga and like the first book, The Gateway, it is a fast paced, action pack story that I could not put down. In fact I read it in one sitting and again was only disappointed by the fact it came to an end. The charactors created by Glenn G. Thater are easy to follow and identify with. The story line flows seamlessly from the first book to this one and I can't wait to read the next book. This is a great read and I highly recommend it.

“The Fallen Angle” picks up where “The Gateway” left off and raises excitement to a whole new level. In this case the sequel exceeds the original. "The Gateway" is great but "The Fallen Angle” is a must read.
