As Wings Unfurl
By Arthur M. Doweyko
Genre: Science Fiction
Book Description:
Applegate Bogdanski returns from Vietnam with a missing leg, a Purple Heart, and an addiction to morphine. He stumbles through each day, looking forward to nothing and hoping it will arrive soon. When he attempts to thwart a crime, he is knocked unconscious and wakes up to discover that people are once again calling him a hero, though he feels undeserving of the praise.
Apple returns to work and meets Angela, a mysterious woman who claims to be his guardian. Immediately, he feels a connection to her, which morphs into an attraction. But he soon discovers that Angela is much more than she seems.
Apple and Angela are swept up in a conspiracy that stretches through time and space. Together, they must fight to save everything they hold dear from an alien race bent on destroying humanity.
Review:
I love the main character's name, Applegate! Definitely different! Apple isn't your typical main character, so the name was fitting. The prologue was intense. It was the perfect intro to the book in my opinion because the author grabbed my attention right away. I felt that Mr. Doweyko gave the the good vs. evil theme a unique twist. The way he described the angel's in his book was so beautiful. I would give this book 4 stars!
