Messiah: The First Judgement
The second volume in the Chronicles of Brothers series
By Wendy Alec
“One of the finest novels I have ever read: superbly written, deeply moving,
with a plot that leaves the Da Vinci Code in the shade. “
-- GP Taylor, Author of Shadowmancer, on the first of the Chronicle Series
Messiah: The First Judgement is the surprise self-published hit of 2007. In the three weeks that it has been available, it has sold over 15,000 hardback copies and made the Waterstone’s Fantasy Bestsellers charts for two consecutive weekends. With one of the biggest hardback pre-orders this year, Messiah: The First Judgement is rapidly developing cult status.
The epic Chronicles series traces three archangel brothers, Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer and their harrowing journey from the flawless world of the first heaven through to Lucifer’s banishment with his fallen host to Perdition. The brothers’ comradeship is shattered.
Lucifer and his fallen horde swiftly enforce their claim to the generations of the race of men, past, present and future, guaranteeing their demise in the lake of fire. There is only one who can put a stop to Lucifer’s malevolent plans, his arch adversary - The Nazarene.
A savage bloody battle rages in the vaults of the damned. The vast armies of the first heaven and hell wage violent war. The forces of the first heaven prevail and, defeated, Lucifer is summoned in chains for the First Judgement. Mutinous and defiant, he swears revenge on the race of men.
Centuries later, Michael and Gabriel await Lucifer on the towering granite slopes of St Michael Mount in Cornwall. Is it 1981.
The fallen will come to earth to war for the race of men.
The universe will be rocked by war.
Lucifer will clone his own messiah…
The tale is chilling… the consequences inconceiveable.

The Chronicles of Brothers first saw the light of day in a screenplay format and was then developed into an epic fantasy series of novels. Messiah: The First Judgement is the second in the series with a further five to follow. A graphic novel and a major film based on the series are now in development. The series is self published in the UK and the first novel developed a cult following through word of mouth and has become one of the most successful self publishing phenomena in the history of the UK.
