Cats, magic, art, science, I can't think of it getting any better. Streiber is an excellent writer and is very good at understanding both male and female views. I also love how he had the traditional churches accepting the "pagans" and the new fundamentals being the issue. It's basically the same way I truly see the problem too so I was happy to see it that way and that's why I used quotes. It's truly an exciting novel with unexpected events and anxious moments. I also found it very emotional.
