The time is the Beginning.

The place is Heaven.

The story is the Revolt of the Angels — a war of magic, corruption and intrigue that could destroy the universe.

"Steven Brust just might be America's best fantasy writer." Tad Williams

Review:

"Consummate grace and genuine artistry." Roger Zelazny

Synopsis:

Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos novels and his swashbuckling tales of Khaavren have earned him an enthusiastic audience world-wide. To Reign in Hell does for the epic of Satan's rebellion what Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light did for Hindu myth.

About the Author

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and raised in a family of Hungarian labor organizers, Steven Brust worked as a musician and a computer programmer before coming to prominence as a writer in 1983 with Jhereg, the first of his novels about Vlad Taltos, a human professional assassin in a world dominated by long-lived, magically-empowered human-like "Dragaerans."

Over the next several years, several more "Taltos" novels followed, interspersed with other work, including To Reign in Hell, a fantasy re-working of Milton's war in Heaven; The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars, a contemporary fantasy based on Hungarian folktales; and a science fiction novel, Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille. The most recent "Taltos" novels are Dragon and Issola. In 1991, with The Phoenix Guards, Brust began another series, set a thousand years earlier than the Taltos books; its sequels are Five Hundred Years After and the three volumes of "The Viscount of Adrilankha": The Paths of the Dead, The Lord of Castle Black, and Sethra Lavode.

While writing, Brust has continued to work as a musician, playing drums for the legendary band Cats Laughing and recording an album of his own work, A Rose for Iconoclastes. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where he pursues an ongoing interest in stochastics.

Many may not be able to get through this book because of the conversational tone it has throughout. But if you can, it will definitely keep your interest. I could barely put it down and I finished it in a day or two. It's a fictional and imaginative alternative to the creation story presented in the book of Genesis. Definitely a fun read.
