Joshua Graham in his new book, “Terminus” published by Redhaven Books brings us into the lives of Nikolai and Hope Matheson.

From the back cover:    How far must an angel fall to find his destiny?

Having witnessed one too many senseless deaths, Nikolai, a disillusioned Reaper 3rd Class, resigns his commission with the Angel Forces after a tedious century of gathering souls.

Immediately, another division recruits him with the promise of a more rewarding career, and issues his initial assignments: To bring down a few very dangerous threats to the human race.  In the process, Nikolai falls in love with one of his targets-Hope Matheson, a woman who will lead thousands astray.

Caught between conflicting agendas, Nikolai chooses to “fall” from his celestial state and become mortal in order to circumvent angel law and be with her.  But for angels and humans alike, things are not always as they appear.  Still a target, the threat against Hope’s life intensifies.

Now, in order to save her, Nikolai must rally the last remnants of his failing supernatural abilities to prevent her assassination, as well as the destruction of an entire city by a nuclear terrorist strike.

But his time and power are running out…

Terminus is a perspective-altering saga that delves into ageless themes of redemption, destiny, and the eternal power of love.

Spiritual warfare exists.  There really is a battle between Angels and demons and they fight over humanity.  Humans are God’s greatest creation and He has Angels to protect them from the demonic forces that want to corrupt and destroy them.  Is “Terminus” completely Biblical when it comes to Angels?  Well, no.  But if it was then there would not be a story.  Mr. Graham is trying to present a story about depression, and unresolved issues from our past that press on our present and keep us from our future.  I think Mr. Graham has succeeded admirably.  God has His healing for anyone who needs it.  Then there is the theme of hope.  There is always hope.  It is not a coincidence that a main character is named Hope.  Leave aside any concern about Angels as “Terminus” is not a study book on Angels, what it is, however, is a roaring good story that will keep you highly interested in what is going to happen next.
