    About this ebook

    Lee Soylent is a young man with a mission: to get himself killed. In the England of the very near future, his task is to subvert the established order in the name of the one true faith. He knows that only the next world matters. What can possibly come between him and the virgins he has been promised, if not the Angels in his heart? Dark humour lightens this tale of teenage longing taken to the extreme.

      Angels versus Virgins

      Lee was dying to see the Angels. He was not the only one.

      When the tall, thin teenager arrived outside the club’s headquarters, the queue was already a lengthy one. From the Bishop’s Offices, it snaked along the lawn in front of the Anglo-Saxon castle that stood next to the Offices, down to the river, and along its banks to the High Street, from which the usual light traffic had been diverted. The pulsating mass of people gave the old town a human heartbeat.
