FERREN AND THE ANGEL by Richard HARLAND : This fantasy novel is set in the year 3000 after the evil Humen have taken control of the earth.  Ferren, a member of the Residuals, a primitive race of people who dwell in fear in the ruins of civilisation, meets a warrior angel who has been stranded on earth.  Together they uncover the terrible truth behind the Humen and restore the earth to the original inhabitants. This book is fast moving, action-packed and sometimes terrifying but it is also funny and tender. This is a book for the mature reader who enjoys fantasy.
