About the Book

Every thousand years, the throne of Hell is up for grabs. The time is now. The demon Babbas has challenged Lucifer for the crown of Hades. Babbas’ plan, to deliver a fallen angel, puts Lucifer in the awkward position of protecting that angel. If Babbas can get the angel to lie, he will unseat Lucifer and become Ruler of Hell.

Barney, a harmless aging railroad conductor, becomes the pawn in this game of evil vs. evil, Barney dies in a train wreck, caused by Babbas, and struggles as an earthbound angel to correct a lie that will save him from the eternal fires of Hell.

As Lucifer watches Babbas’ plot unravel, powerless to intervene, Barney is helped by his grandfather, his adoring wife and his friends, although none of them realizes how critical their help is.

The novel is a love story, peppered with mystery, suspense, fantasy, romance and even humor as it twists and turns its way. Just when the reader believes he knows what will happen next, another surprise sends the story reeling in a different direction.
