The Nephilim were on the earth in those days
Genesis 6:4
When Sister Evangeline finds mysterious correspondence between Mother Innocenta of the Saint Rose Convent and legendary philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller, it confirms Angels walked among us - and their descendants, the cruel Nephilim, still do.
Indeed, the Nephilim are hunting for artefacts concealed by Abigail Rockefeller during the Second World War - objects that will ultimately allow them to enslave mankind - and have so far been prevented from reaching their apocalyptic goal by one, clandestine organisation: The Angelology Society.
And if the Angelologists are to stand any chance of winning this new battle in the ages-old war, they must find the artefacts first. But their fate rests in the hands of innocent Sister Evangeline, who holds the key to unlocking Abigail Rockefeller's hiding places ... and whose own destiny may yet find her prey to the terrifying Nephilim army, with horrifying consequences for humanity.
I just love this book. Everything about it is nearly perfect... hugely enjoyable and brilliantly sustained.
—— From the introduction by Bill BrysonAn amazing book about mountain climbing from 1956. Laugh-out-loud literature
—— Tim Key , GuardianThis wonderfully funny parody of adventure stories was first written in the 1950s but is just as fresh today with a truly brilliant comic narrator whose commentary on the expedition members is unintentionally hilarious. Buy it
—— Sunday MirrorWonderful. Rum Doodle does for mountaineering what Three Men in a Boat did for Thames-going or Catch-22 did for the Second World War. It is simply an account of the leader of an expedition up Rum Doodle, a 40,000 and a half foot peak in the Himalayas, in the same way that Scoop is simply a tale about newsgathering in Africa. The tone is nearer to Pooter than anyone else I can think of, but the flavour is all W.E. Bowman's own
—— Sunday TimesThis gentle, deadly parody of the tight-arsed old school of British exploration narratives is seemingly a cult book among mountaineers, but it has been virtually unknown to the reading public since its first publication in 1956
—— GuardianA veritable feast... incredibly enjoyable... a marvellous romp
—— Geographical MagazineA hilarious spoof and perfect parody of Britishness...it shames what now claims to be comedy
—— The TimesA fine meditation on love and loss
—— Sally Cousins , Sunday TelegraphMankell carefully maps the changing seasons in beautifully stark prose
—— James Urquhart , Financial TimesThe cool, enigmatic tone is reminiscent of Paul Auster
—— Brandon Borshaw , Independent on SundayVivid prose...translated beautifully
—— Ian Thompson , Evening StandardPresent a spare tale of metaphors and symbols to argue that, in the middle of life, we are in death but occasionally, and happily, the opposite too
—— Tim Pashley , Times Literary Supplement
