Publisher Description
The Beating of his Wings by Paul Hoffman is the final instalment in his epic Cale and the Sanctuary of Redeemers series.
Thomas Cale has been running from the truth.
Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose - to destroy God's greatest mistake, mankind itself - Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.
Cale is a paradox: arrogant and innocent, generous and pitiless. Feared and revered by those created him, he has already used his breathtaking talent for destruction to bring down the most powerful civilisation in the world.
But Thomas Cale is weak. His soul is dying. As his body is wracked with convulsions he knows that the final judgment will not wait for a sick boy. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale's sense of vengeance leads him back to the Sanctuary - and to confront the person he hates most in the world. Finally Cale must recognise that he is the incarnation of God's rage and decide if he will stand against the Sanctuary of the Redeemers and use his unique skill of laying waste to all things.
The fate of mankind rests on Cale's decision.
The Beating of his Wings is the third and final instalment in Paul Hoffman's epic Cale and the Sanctuary of the Redeemers trilogy, following The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things. Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials meets Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, and fans of epic heroic fiction will love this series.

Customer Reviews
Too much
To the previous poster I agree this is too much for an ebook but this is the price of the book in the shops so I'm not sure it's Apple this time, maybe I'm wrong but I think it's across the board pricing. Still too expensive and I will wait till its is cheaper to finish a very good trilogy.
Rip off
8 quid for an e-book!
Get real.....
Pity, was looking forward to reading the conclusion to this tale but I ain't here to get ripped off.
Apple, the game is up, you have been found guilty of manipulating the e-book prices, give it up and sell them for what they are worth; a fiver max.
Sorry Mr Hoffman, your books are great and I enjoy them; pity you too are being shafted by Apples pricing policy.
Edited to add 1/1/14:
Well, seems sense has prevailed and my advice heeded LOL.
At a fiver this is more like it, I can now enjoy the end of the take :-)
Left hand of god trilogy
Love it! Gripping, funny, clever, original and touching. Well done Hoffman.
