Javier Sierra plays readers like a virtuoso--a stickler for detail-- with imagination galore--but always keeping the story ringing with unadorned reality. Just a solid, drum-tight winner of a book." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key "In The Lost Angel, Javier Sierra takes us on a riveting quest through 5000 years of humanity's rich esoteric history, peeling away those fascinating onionskin layers of our own hidden past. As the intrepid Julia Alvarez hurtles headlong across a continent to save her husband, she discovers the dark forces that imminently will be unleashed -- when the lost wisdom of the ancients smashes, as in a particle accelerator, against those dangerous powers already held in the hands of modern science." --Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author of The Eight and The Fire "With The Lost Angel, Javier Sierra has gifted his readers with a mesmerizing and thrilling journey into one of the greatest historical mysteries--the true nature of angels.
