What makes men different from angels and demons? It is their capacity for redemption. Armageddon: An Apache Story relates the attempt by Bal’am, Prince of Hell, to return to heaven. To succeed, he must dwell in the well of the soul before Archangel Gabriel brings it to the infant. Bal’am possesses young Luis on a spiritual quest in the Apache Medicine Society that has rejected modern life for oneness with nature. Apache and Hopi traditions are woven artfully throughout this novel. Bal’am finally enters Luis and begins his reign of terror and destruction. Luis is incarcerated, and through Bal’am’s deceptions and brutality, he takes over the HAND (La Mano Negra), the Mexican Mafia. He also becomes Rev. Bronco, a televangelist who uses his position to give demons the opportunity to possess the innocent. Luis’s young daughter, Raven, becomes the object of Bal’am’s design. By impregnating her, he can dwell in the well of the soul. The possessed Luis thwarts that plan, however. The demon takes over Raven, finds a mate, conceives, and incarnates as Emmanuel, who leads a life of destruction as a child and young adult. With unwavering determination, a small band of believers use Apache and Christian traditions to hunt for the incarnation of evil. Time is running out. Will they defeat the Prince of Hell?
