Angelology, by Danielle Trusonni, is a novel that has received rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times "Book Review" and has been optioned by Will Smith for very big bucks.
It's right out of Dan Brown, but -- relatively speaking -- literate and thought-provoking.
In terms of our shared interests and discussions is Trusonni's fictional nomination of the Nephilim -- the offspring of fallen angels and humans -- to the collective role commonly played by the Illuminati or Masons or Dixons or ...
She has them marrying into the most powerful European families and wresting control of human destiny. And her Nephilim are the "giants" of our mythology.
Or is it mythology?
Spiritual conspiracy theory has found a public voice -- and a damn powerful one at that. This books warrants our attention.
It's all very smartly done.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
