Calling All Angels
John G. Hartness with Melissa Gilbert as editor
Falstaff Books
copyright 2017
Jo Henry is the first protagonist whose eyes we see through in the new fantasy series centered upon
"The Shadow Council". "The Shadow Council" is composed of descendants of famous literary or folk
heroes: John Watson (yes, that Watson) is a member. They are all united to fight an ultimate evil that
is determined to destroy humanity.
This is a John Hartness book. That means very strong female characters who can kick ass. It
also means a heroine with her own brand of snarky sense of humor. Expect to laugh and worry
within seconds of reading the same chapter.
Jo Henry is the granddaughter of the great John Henry. She possesses an extraordinary hammer.
She has a daughter and grandmother whom her life is centered around. She is the first of the
Shadow Council we get to hear a story from.
She is told by the shadow council that Archangel Michael has lost his memory and is wandering
round lost as a human. She was told that she could restore Archangel Michael's memory by finding
him and handing him his sword. She has a police officer who may be madly in love with her,
but she's too busy punching and kicking to notice.
Jo was told that Michael makes a living doing "fight club" activities: illegal cage fighting where
people pay lots of money to bet upon the winner. So Jo herself is visiting these fight clubs, making
extra money for her family by beating down opponents.
What happens when she finally meets up with Michael? How could any holy angel not know who
he or she is? How is it that every demon keeps his identity and can spot a lost angel straight
off? Buy the book to get more answers.
This story is set in the same universe as Quincy Harker. It's a lot of fun to have a female
heroine for a change. I am looking forward to seeing future titles in this series.

New direction, new mission
This is book 9 in the Quincy Harker series by John G. Hartness. While I think they’re best enjoyed in order, this launches a new direction and storyline for the series so you could start here.With the introduction of Jo, Hartness gives us a new heroine to root for (and a little break from Harker 😉). She’s looking to find the archangel Michael but frustrated to learn he doesn’t know who he is now that he’s in the mortal realm. As always, there are demons to battle. Friends will be lost and loved ones are in peril – so Jo doesn’t have time for Michael to get with the program.Great balance of mystery, suspense, and action. Listened to it in one afternoon. Looking forward to more Jo.Narration:James Anderson Foster is great as always. He *is* the voice of this series and even though this mostly focused on a female MC – he did a fantastic job.
