<DIV><B>A dissatisfied angel falls to Earth to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a heavy-metal rock &rsquo;n&rsquo; roll god</B><BR /><BR /> For Volos, heaven is a bore; the real action is in the world of mortals. So the restless celestial abandons the eternal realm, transforming himself into a beautiful, decadent example of the human male while keeping his wings intact, and sets out to become a rock star. Needing appropriate lyrics for his soon-to-be hit singles and having no firsthand experience with mortal emotions and concerns, Volos finds everything he needs in the personal writings of a sexually repressed wife and mother from the Bible Belt. The daughter of a tyrannical fundamentalist preacher, <a>Angie</a>&#160;composes poetry in secret, and she is shocked when she hears her own words on the radio. Surely a higher power is calling her to Los Angeles. But the music is leading her to a shining star who is more than a man yet less than human&mdash;a true soulmate capable of changing her world in ways she never could have imagined.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Multiple award&ndash;winning fantasist Nancy Springer reinvigorates the fallen-angel trope in<BR /> a delightfully inventive and thought-provoking story of a celestial being who is unhappy in the service of a distant and unapproachable God. <I>Metal Angel</I> is an enthralling exploration of belief, spirituality, sexual awakening, and superstardom.<BR /><BR /><BR /><br clear="all" /><BR /></DIV>
