When Father Fidelis abruptly leaves the friary,
the Brothers Peter, Oliver, Valentine, and
Bernard wonder if Leo the cat might have
something to do with it. They have good reason to
wonder since they are keenly aware of Leo’s
uncanny ability to appear and disappear like
magic. No one knows what to expect when his green
eyes change to a golden glow.
When Leo’s not bewildering the Brotherhood at the
friary in this life, he crosses over to guide the
recently deceased Brother Jerome through the next
life. In “Jerome and the Seraph”, the first book
in the series, readers learned that Leo is a time
traveling feline whose real name is Quantum or
Quant for short. A rock falls on the Minotaur
(half man/half bull) in the Labyrinth of Knossos
which sets off a quantum leap, sending the
Minotaur to the friary and Jerome to the
Labryrinth. Leo/Quant is busy hiding the Minotaur
in the shed when Jerome calls on his old companion to help him escape the maze.
Meanwhile, Aidan the new Guardian arrives at the
friary (to replace Fidelis) and decides the
Brothers are much too lax. To everyone’s surprise
and dismay, he posts a new prayer schedule and
new rules. However his inflexibility masks a
deeper crisis of faith haunting him.
Williams creates a fascinating contrast between
Brother Jerome’s journey of discovery in the
after life and Father Aidan’s struggle to
understand this life. “Angelos” weaves history
and mythology into spell-binding fantasy and a
soul-searching tale which readers of all ages will enjoy.
