New York City, 1974 - a seedy urban landscape plagued by vice and corruption. An unlikely hero is granted an extraordinary second chance when his soul inhabits the body of the recently deceased Eddie Riggs. His improbable guide? A wisecracking cockroach named Randy, who claims to be an emissary of the divine "Service."
Imbued with superhuman abilities, the new Eddie becomes an angelic avenger, a demon hunter charged with purging the city of the nefarious Porn King Deuce Durango and his seedy empire of sin.
However, as Eddie and his insect mentor delve deeper into the festering underbelly of the city, they stumble upon a more sinister plot that threatens to drown all five boroughs in a tidal wave of violence and eternal darkness.
In this gritty supernatural black comedy, witness an epic clash between the forces of good and evil, and the redemptive power of love and faith. The fate of New York City itself hangs precariously in the balance in Arturo Cabrera's "Better Angels."
"Artie Cabrera's work is irreverent, fearless, visionary. He brings a no-holds-barred approach to his writing, a wrestler's dynamic that puts the reader in a headlock, and never lets go. Cabrera puts the edge into leading-edge speculative fiction."
