The battle of the apocalypse

Compared to JRR Tolkien, Eduardo Spohr brings The Battle of the Apocalypse and presents us with a battle that began when the universe was occupied only by two celestial and omnipotent mystical beings.

It all began many, many years ago, as many years ago as there are stars in the sky, when the Celestial Paradise was the scene of a terrible uprising. A group of warrior angels, lovers of justice and freedom, defied the tyranny of the powerful archangels, taking up arms against their oppressors. Expelled, the renegades were forced into exile, condemned to wander the world of men until the Day of Judgment.

But now comes the moment of the Apocalypse, the time of reckoning, the day of the awakening of the Almighty. The sole survivor of the purge, the leader of the renegades is invited by Lucifer, the Dark Archangel, to join his legions in the battle of Armageddon, the final clash between Heaven and Hell, the war that will decide not only the fate of the world, but the future of the universe.

From the ruins of Babylon to the splendor of the Roman Empire; from the vast plains of China to the icy castles of medieval England. The Battle of the Apocalypse is not only a journey through human history, but also a journey of knowledge, a thrilling epic filled with heroic struggles, magic, romance, and suspense.

The battle of the apocalypse will place debutant Eduardo Spohr alongside the most creative fiction writers in Brazilian literature.

There is nothing in known Portuguese literature quite like The Battle of the Apocalypse . In the pages that make up this volume, Eduardo Spohr gives us lessons in fictional creativity, more like epic films and less, much less, than the simple science fiction of yesteryear, from the perspective of Isaac Asimov and even the admirable Ray Bradbury.
