The Call of Angels

About the Book

The Call of Angels, Durkin's second novel, continues the story about his main character, Robert Hamlin's, single term in office and a second presidential campaign. 

This second novel is much more unpredictable in describing the character and events presented in the story.  Due to the success of his one term in office, his integrity of keeping his word is put to the test.  With the loss of various friends and loved ones in his life, Hamlin's religious faith is challenged.

The story is educational in nature in explaining what are the symptoms of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).  This information can help save the life of you or a family member.  If you suspect you may have DVT, please consult your family physician.

His first book, In My Dreams, is a novel about a young man from the suburbs of Chicago who gets elected President of the U.S.  Many readers have described the book as educational, inspirational, and motivational.
