Stableford, Brian: THE ANGEL OF PAIN

It is 1893. David Lydyard has been beset by strange visions since he returned to England from Egypt twenty-one years before. Now the visions are becoming ever more extravagant and ever more urgent, undulled even by the potent drug laudanum.

He is caught up in the net cast by the fallen angels, those newly-awakened beings who need humankind to serve as their eyes and hands on earth.

David's task, to discover the truth about the fallen angels, starts him off on the strangest journey in human history, a journey he cannot undertake alone... but his own companions may yet prove to be his deadliest enemies.

And David's mission cannot ever succeed, unless he can come to terms with the Angel of Pain.
