Awakening of an Alien God (Volume 1) R. Douglas Burns

Awakening of an Alien God Truth and Illusion
In the third installment of the Messengers trilogy, Laura Jacobsen and Bryan Douglas seek access to the archangel?s leviathan flying saucer, still partially submerged in Lost Lake. They have learned the angel saucer is a portal to the remote astral planes, and they hope to search these planes for their lost undead lovers, John Wright and Suzanne Zimmerman.

Byzantine Shadows
Laura and Bryan eventually find much more than lost loves, much more they could have imagined, including revelations into the true nature of reality.

As I befriend the Dead
Marguerite, a human/angel hybrid is also on a quest. She has lost her flying companion, May Tyre, to a terrible accident. As she seeks a way to resurrect May, Marguerite?s human memories begin to return, and she realizes she made a terrible mistake when she merged with the archangel Azazel to gain immortality.

Of Wars on Planes Beyond My Ken
Major Karl Minor is on a mission as well, to investigate an object in Lost Lake that in aerial reconnaissance photos looks like a huge flying saucer. The official word is the artifact really some kind of hoax fabricated by the citizens of Creedance. But if Minor finds differently, his orders are to destroy it by whatever means he can.

Things Only Damaged Souls Know
Minor believes he?s on a fool?s mission, as his military career is all but defunct. His personal life is a train wreck too, and at times, he wonders why he even bothers to keep living. Then he meets the glorious winged female creature at the shores of Lost Lake, and reality is turned inside out.
