Publisher's Summary:
A year has passed since the Kimball clan nearly annihilated the polygamous community of Blister Creek in the largest terrorist attack since 9/11. After the death of his father, Dr. Jacob Christianson takes reluctant leadership of the community as enemies gather against their desert sanctuary, threatening another murderous attack.
When Jacobs adopted son Daniel begins suffering disturbing visions, Jacob fears the worst. He knows all too well the mental illness that plagues the Kimballs, (Daniels biological family), fueling their thirst for vengeance and power. Desperate for answers, Jacob immerses himself in the history of Blister Creek, plumbing its blood-soaked origins for something - anything - that could save his son from the path of evil.
All the while Taylor Kimball Junior roams free, gathering the remnants of his scattered army and preparing to unleash one more assault. This is their final battleand only God knows who will be delivered.

Outstanding Pre-Apocalyptic
Let me give rousing kudos to this entire series, for mesmerizing, fascinating, engrossing, and yes, educating, me!! I began with Book 7, HELL'S FORTRESS, as a review via NetGalley just a week ago. I was so enraptured that I then started with Book 1 to read the series in consecutive order. I'm now reading Book 6, THE GATES OF BABYLON, and will have to wait till January for Book 8, the final. (Oh, why does it have to end?)
Throughout out the series, the splinter Mormons who constitute the core focus and many of the protagonists have steadily awaited the predicted Last Days, the "end of the world" preceding "the great and terrible day of the Lord." Occasionally, a character will remind, "It's always the Last Days--until it really is." In DESTROYING ANGEL, we begin to see evidences of the latter times: a supervolcano in Indonesia altering global weather; agricultural uprisings in Iowa, Nebraska, and California. Closer to home for the polygamist community of Blister Creek, Utah, are earthquakes, a toxic gas-contaminated pond, and USDA exercising eminent domain (armed) over the harvest and food storage of Blister Creek.
My highest recommendation for every novel in this series; all are rereaders.
Fast-paced, action-packed, suspenseful thriller
This book was written with many twists and turns and betrayals. Michael Wallace keeps your attention wanting to know what happens next. Who is friend and who is foe? I am sure you will enjoy reading this book as much as I have. I am ready for the next book!
Authentic, Riveting, Mesmerizing
Fifth in a strong series, this collection of work tells the story of an FLDS fundamentalist, polygamist group. The characters are well drawn and interesting. I've long had an interest in polygamy, and have studied academic works, cultural studies, anthropolgical works and all true story, crime and fiction works regarding the subject that I could get my hands on. The characters, surroundings, community and lifestyle illustrated in this series seem authentic to me. Regardless of your views on Mormons, fundamentalist religious groups, cults, polygamy, etc., you will find this a fast moving and fascinating series, a true character study of the leadership and members of these groups. Can't wait for the next one.......hurry up Feb.
