Visitations is A.S. Finney’s follow on novel based around
the plot of Earth Angel’s. Characters Annie and
Mandrake reappear in the plot as does Bill the
ex-priest. Two new characters are introduced in this
novel, Brett and Freddie. Brett has a psychic ability
called shifting, where he can see things. Freddie is
Brett’s girlfriend and is a geologist and is working on
a project dealing with apparitions.
As the story plods along Sarah Forbes reenters the fray in
the battle with evil forces. Also joining in the plot
are aliens who hold the key to what happened on earth in
the past that bears some relevance to the present’s
strange events. Liz, Sarah’s girlfriend, has the DNA of
Jesus Christ and married to Bill the ex-priest.
The book rambles through a series of adventures that I
found unbelievable. I felt that the author told too
much and did very little showing in the writing style.
This led to a very flat story that was a chore to read
For me Visitations just did not deliver in its content as
fantasy novel should.
