A dark and wildly imaginative story, well told and packed with hair-raising twists The Times - The Left Hand of God published to huge critical acclaim and storming the charts - The second instalment in the epic narrative that will stand amongst the greats of heroic fiction imagine if Phillip Pullmans His Dark Materials met Umberto Ecos Name of the Rose. Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell These are the Last Four Things Now there are Five Meet Thomas Cale Returning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary the only way to undo Gods greatest mistake. Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world: fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death. Absolute power is within his grasp, the terrifying zeal and military might of the Redeemers a weapon for him to handle as simply as he once used a knife. But perhaps not even the grim power that the Redeemers hold over Cale is enough - the boy who turns from love to poisonous hatred in a heartbeat, the boy who switches between kindness and sheer violence in the blink of an eye. The annihilation that the Redeemers seek may well be in Cales hands - but his soul is far stranger than they could ever know.
