Koep (Author, Illustrator), Marlene Adelstein (Editor)Series: Newirth mythology (Book 1)Publisher: Will Dreamly Arts; Reprint edition (August 30, 2016)ISBN-10: 0997623403ISBN-13: 9780997623406Dimension 416 pagess: 4 x 1 x 6.8 inchesPsychologist Loche Newirth becomes hunted when he sees a painting that opens a window onto the afterlife. An ancient order of men seeking to control the art pursue him across the world, through centuries, into madness and beyond.The first part of Michael B. Koep's The Newirth Mythology-The Invasion of Heaven is mystery, adventure, myth, betrayal, murder and madness.Loche Newirth wonders if it was his fall: the fifty foot drop from the rocky cliff to the icy water below. Is this why he has been hallucinating? Or is it because one of his clients is dead, or his mentor has gone mad, or that his wife is leaving him? He can't bring himself to believe what he has been seeing. Insane things like a massive, searching eye. He sees it in the water below the cliff. He sees it in mirrors, on walls: a massive, crystal blue iris and fathomless pupil there in the center of his life, looking at him.To find the answer, Loche pens the recent events of his life into a book and leaves the work behind for his mentor Doctor Marcus Rearden to interpret. As Rearden reads he plunges into the harrowing depths of Loche's reality: his loss of a client, the discovery of an unknown past, an ancient conflict over possession of the human condition, the awesome reality of the gods walking among us, and the crimes of humanity invading the hope that lies beyond the grave. And along the way, Loche tells of unforgettable characters: the torn and manic housewife that teeters on the edge of sanity, and a depressed, swashbuckling swordsman that believes he is over six hundred years old, the stoned and prolific painter and his perilous work he must keep secret, and the beautiful business woman that abandons her life's work for a love she never expected.------------------------Review"Must reads for the summer! It's part adventure, part fantasy, a bit of mystery, and all fun.--The Times Weekly "In The Invasion of Heaven, by Michael B. Koep, has made us believers in the magic of his own created reality. With pasts and futures blurring and mankind in the balance, it's a great story and a great read. I can't wait for the sequel, or the movie."--Stephen Shortridge, author of Deepest Thanks, Deeper Apologies. "Reminiscent of a modern-day Tolkien, the descriptions create an irresistible world that drags you in, ready or not. Silence. Flash. Gone. It wasn't just that the adventure sweeps you right off your feet in a blend of technology and sword-fighting, art and music, love and crime, in a glorious thrill ride that never goes too far for you to suspend your disbelief. It wasn't even that the plot bends your mind so that you're never quite steady, even on the last page. The Invasion of Heaven is a story that reminds us life can be worth something, that beauty is worth fighting for, that our work, our place in the world can really matter. That love changes everything."--Rose Robbins, author of The Carlin Series, The Art of Grace, and Deep Blue OceanAbout the AuthorMichael B. Koep has been called an Inland Northwest "Renaissance Man." An avid world traveler, educator, accomplished visual artist and touring rock musician, Michael's spirit is imbued in the arts.
