Strange Angels: Book Two of Heretics in Occupied Eden

The Strange Angels continues the saga begun in The Floating Boy. Cloud and Terp sojourn in Hawaii and Australia's Northern Territory before settling into domestic life in Arizona. Yet memories of Xuan and the proximity of Terp's college roommate Dagmar intrude on their bliss and lead them to deeper metaphysical discoveries. Cloud pursues a career as a history professor, while Terp serves as a mainline parish pastor, until peculiar circumstances draw them toward a previously unimagined vocational partnership. Involvements with the scurrilous preacher T. C. Smith profoundly test and stretch their psychic abilities. Face-to-face encounters with the Old One provide answers and create more questions about the nature of this enigmatic being. And in response to the mystical gravity unintentionally generated when Terp and Cloud are together, a galaxy of extraordinary and gifted people come into their orbit.
