The archangel, FURY, has a secret wish. She's willing to risk her wings to get it. There's only one thing that would make her do that!
Life. . . Sooner or later, every angel in eternity wants to fly back for a visit. Trouble is, it's easy for your wings to get lost along the way. Flap them too far in the wrong direction . . . you might never find your way back to Heaven.
Fury has a secret wish. She’s willing to do just about anything to see it come true. That includes risking a trip to the meanest, nastiest place that an archangel from Hell can find herself—the Garden of Eden—Life’s Earth.
For an angel, the land of the Man-monkeys is no day at the beach. And Fury is finding out how true that is. It’s hard to imagine that her soul could get any more lost than it all ready is, but she’s got seven blasts of the trumpet left . . . before we'll all be lost with her.

Take a trip back from eternity … for old times sake.
Hold onto your wings! Have a Devil-may-care, good time with the gods in FURY, the second book in Steve Windsor’s "The Fallen" series. An even more dazzling read, this hilarious close-up of a personality who cussed her way through one eternal conquest of Heaven and Hell will keep you riveted and clamoring for more. With Windsor’s exceptionally concrete prose and dastardly, diabolical dialogue, you won’t regret a repeat visit to his eternity of “everlasting impotence.” If you’ve read JUMP, the introduction to this apocalyptic world, you’ll love an intimate look at one of the stars of the “Great Mountain of the Eternities.”
You won’t get a judgmental showdown this time. The audience gets to leave the bleachers of the Arena of Reckoning and follow the acerbic-tongued angel and her friends through a trip not to eternity, but back from it for a required resurrection that could result in… redemption, retribution, rage… whatever it’s meant to be.
Mercedes King or “Fury,” as she’s now angelically known, is sent through the portal “back,” and winds up falling back down the same Seattle high-rise to… wait, didn’t we see this before? Well, some of it. Read JUMP and then get back here quickly because you’ll appreciate it far more.
Fury isn’t traveling alone, which adds to the fun. There she is, holding forth with her little “purgatories”—beginner angels—at the fiery lake of Heaven, blaspheming her way through lesson-innumerable when she decides to do an otherworldly show-and-tell. Oh, and wait, we’re in a different eternity now, led by a different god you’ll recognize, and threatened by… well, other beings well-loved and well-hated.
It’s all a power trip, motivated by words of wisdom such as this gem only a god of the two Heavens could love: “Sometimes it is much better to let someone live with their own failure… than to end their suffering for them.” But you’ll see plenty of learning here, along with the ever-present judgments back in Heaven that always get the reader the best seat in the house:
“The cawing and screeching and crowing and cackling seemed to last for hours.”
Whoever winds up as the object of this gabble-babble, you’re hearing every screech and loving every minute. And who can resist the reappearance of “granddad” Jump, the former Jake Blake, who features prominently and is still trying to get around to teaching his now “god”-daughter the “facts of the afterlife”?
