Angels Under Fire, Is It The Beginning Of The End?

Angels Under Fire, by Joel Lee Russell, is a riveting fictional account based on true-life events. Joel suffers an unimaginable act of brutality at the age of 10. To drive out the mental demons that plague him, Joel joins a gang as a young man and his life spirals out of control; that is, until he joins the Marines and receives a little black book from his brother, Mike who returns from Vietnam. Joel's other brother, Patrick is sent to Vietnam during the 1968 Tet Offensive, the most dangerous time of the war, on a mission and Joel seeks to joins him-with his black book. The story concludes with the events leading to December 21, 2012, and the threat of total annihilation of enemy forces in Israel. Joel finds salvation, hope, redemption and meets another angel of sorts-his wife to be-Sunne, a Red Cross nurse who nurses Joel back to life after a near-death experience. His brilliant narration moves from one beautiful epiphany to the next while taking the reader on a humorous, joyous and triumphant journey.
