Angelopolis

Praise for Angelology:
"Sensual and intelligent, Angelology is a terrifically clever thriller--more Eco than Brown. . . . It makes no apologies for its devices, and none are necessary. How else would it be possible to bring together the angels of the Bible and Apocrypha, the myth of Orpheus, Bulgarian geography, medieval monastics, the Rockefellers, Nazis, nuns and musicology? And how splendid that it has happened."
--New York Times Book Review, front page review

"Angelology finds an almost hallucinatory power . . . fusing the debased, the psychological, and the theological, into a single rich, strange tableau that transmits a shock of truth."
--Time

"Stellar . . . . A thrill ride best described as The Da Vinci Code meets Raiders of the Lost Ark."
--USA Today

"Breathtakingly imaginative."
--People

"A gorgeous gothic world . . . where the people who surround us are not what they seem, and stories are unveiled as more truth than fable. This is a book that resonates as both haunting and holy. A must read."
--Brunonia Barry

"Move over, vampires. Dark angels are on the horizon in Trussoni's hefty fiction debut. . . . She offers up intriguing characters, lyrical nature descriptions, hidden clues, secret codes, hidden manuscripts and treasure hunts, creating a sumptuous and surprising novel."
--National Public Radio

"A great, cracking thunderbolt of a story. Angelology is an exquisitely crafted adventure into untold realms of imagination, religion, and history. . . . A triumph."
--Katherine Howe

"A richly detailed, brilliantly conceived work that opens a golden door into another world--or, even more alluringly, another sphere."
--Lincoln Child

"A pleasure from start to finish. . . . A wonderful achievement."
--Kate Mosse

"A thrilling, gorgeous read. Atmospheric, beguiling, and--if you'll pardon the pun--diabolically good."
--Raymond Khoury

"A holy thriller that will arrest your attention from the opening pages and not let go till its mysteries take wing."
--Keith Donohue

"One cannot help being seduced by this unusual, imaginative, literary religious thriller."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Powerfully entertaining. . . . It's hard not to enjoy the secrets unearthed and appreciate what wings are to the angels who secretly walk among us."
--Booklist

Praise for Angelopolis:

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Impressively chilling . . . Terrifying . . . Trussoni's tighter and more engaging sequel improves upon its predecessor [with] Dan Brown-style schooling . . . entertaining alternate history details . . . and Trussoni's creepiest Nephilim to date."
--The New York Times Book Review

"[Trussoni] has created such a seductive alternative history that it easily puts anything Dan Brown has imagined to shame. Skillfully layering significant myths from before the Common Era into the narrative, [she] makes it hard not to believe that anything is and was possible." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A stunning follow-up to the best-seller Angelology . . . Part historical novel, fantasy, love story, thriller, and mystery . . . It's a must-read."
---Alison Downs, Booklist (starred review)

"Exciting . . . devotees of Trussoni's first novel will enjoy this continuation of the crusade to save humankind."
--Joy Gunn, Library Journal

"Trussoni's fiction has been compared to Dan Brown's, and justifiably so; her metaphysical action premise shares a sensibility with The Da Vinci Code, and there's a familiar air to academic turned angel-hunter V.A. Verlaine as he struggles with his romantic feelings toward a woman whose genetic legacy holds profound religious significance. Angelopolis moves at a blink-and-you'll-miss-it pace, and Trussoni has a knack for creating wonderfully immediate images. The sequel to Angelology is a lightning-fast read packed with killer angels, royal conspiracies, kidnappings and train-top chases."
