The Lord threw Lucifer and his ilk out of heaven, but the evil one is not contented to rule in Hell. He wants to reign in Heaven and cast his creator out of his domain. The key to Lucifer’s battle plan is a young Earthling, Christopher, a nerdy lad who gets picked on at school and finds solace in video games.

The fallen angel Kaym visits Christopher offering great power if the lad opens Heaven’s Gate; Christopher eagerly accepts. He succeeds in his mission and the dark angels win the battle for heaven and they now want to take dominion over another of God’s worlds. Christopher helps with the war plans but just as victory is within their grasp, the boy realizes what he has become and tries to change Lucifer’s certain victory into a heavenly defeat.

ETERNAL WARRIORS is a fantasy thriller that describes the ultimate battle between good and evil. The characters are realistic and are symbolic of good or evil. The protagonist is a complex person who is not very likable until he sees the truth and tries to atone what he has caused. Christopher makes Theodore Beale’s novel a very different kind of reading experience, one that the audience will remember in their prayers.
