“It’s like the Justice League, only with more tweed”
September 29th, 2003
You’ve heard of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, now meet the newest crimefighting superteam: The League of Extraordinary Authors:
“Heaven’s War” focuses on the Inklings, the scholarly cabal that was centered around … C.S. Lewis … J.R.R. Tolkien and … Charles Williams. …
[…] the book will be set in 1938, with the world hovering on the brink of World War II when “a secret angelic battle is waged in the heavenly realms to determine mankind’s fate.”
The Inklings are pitted against the infamous occultist author Aleister Crowley, who “plans to manipulate those angelic struggles and thus shape the world according to his will.” In order to stop him, the Inklings “must decipher a landscape of sacred geometry to intercept Crowley at the threshold of heaven.”
Words fail me…
