ItΓ’€™s a new world for the first fifty, ever-created, Angels.
They have been brought to life for one reason. To fight evil. But no one knows what evil is or where it's going to come from. The story takes place in Heaven another newly created estate, under construction as the Angels begin training, under the watchful eye of the Archangel, Michael, to become Guardians on a yet to be created planet called Earth. Heaven is something to behold. The Angels are mystified as they take their first tour through the new city. Incredible architecture (Skyscrapers made of seashells and white sand), birds of every color (Golden Eagles), and a city made of libraries (For those who like to read), are just a few of the sights the Angel's experience.
We follow Adlay, one of the Angels, from his first breath, through extensive physical training, his Humanities class with Jesus, and his Worship class with a beautiful Angel named Lucifer, who immediately gives Adlay a foreboding feeling. The Angels work hard for months to improve and graduate from training. Adlay excels above everybody else in training but quickly discovers Lucifer is planning something. What he finds out, makes him question if he actually knows what is right or wrong. As the Angels near their big day, Adlay must make a difficult choice. Does he care only about graduating and moving on or does he risk everything to discover if Lucifer and evil are synonymous.

Chapter 1 Creation, continued
“I know, I know,” Thalzn quipped. “It’s all very bewildering, I’m sure. Okay, first, the good news, this is important. Your minds are very advanced. It is important you realize and remember that. I cannot overstate this. Each of you has been given an immense amount of knowledge during your creation. Languages, math, words, motor functions have all been given to you. Some of you were given more than others. Some were given more in certain areas than others. Don’t be surprised when a random bit of knowledge on how to do something, a word, or an image pops into your head. You will need this information to help the people you will be protecting as they start living in their own world. Understand this, you have been endowed with knowledge that is typically gained by living an entire lifetime on a place called Earth. Some of it, God has given to you for your own journey. Your experiences will already be in your mind, so you don’t have to actually live it. This process will save you years. If you were wondering just how you know what you know; well, now you know.”
The room filled with laughter. Since they had never laughed before, they looked at each other quizzically. What was that?
Thalzn, pleased with himself, continued, “I don’t know why you were given certain attributes and not given others, but needless to say, there is a reason for everything.”
Adlay could feel the anticipation in the room. The other guys looked like they felt the same way. Everyone glanced to their left and right, smiling the whole way. It felt like this was the start of something.
Something big.
Thalzn stated, “Alright, why don’t you take a few minutes and get yourselves together. Talk with your fellow creations. Feel what it’s like to be alive.” He disappeared in a POOF of smoke.
Little groups started to form. Adlay looked back to the guy on his left and took a step over to his table. “Hey, I’m Adlay.”
The big guy smiled, “Josh.” He was huge, close to eight feet tall, sporting brawny shoulders and arms. He had long brown hair and intense brown eyes. He leaned against the metal table; his arms crossing his massive chest. He also had a very big mole on his right cheek.
“I’m Alston,” said a voice from behind Adlay. He turned and saw a being next to him draw near the table. He was stunning, seven and a half feet tall with bright white hair and violent blue eyes. Alston couldn’t stop moving. He was shaking his legs, stretching his arms.
“You guys okay?” he continued.

Tom Bruner appreciates books. Over one thousand read. Really. Growing up in Southern California, Tom has had a passion for reading books since his early teens. ItΓ’€™s all about the story is what he believes. Tired of the same vanilla spoonful every time he opened a Christian Fiction book, he decided to write,
A Divine Conspiracy. This book is set in the newly created estate of Heaven. It tells the story of the creation and training of the first Angels ever to be. We follow Adlay, a newly created Angel from his first breath, through physical training and classes with Jesus and Lucifer until the day Heaven falls apart. It packs a punch. There is not a dull moment.
Tom considers taking a motley group of boys from the 7th grade through the graduation of high school with Lifegroup a church program to be his greatest accomplishment so far. That and U.S. Air Force Basic Training. That and fraternity initiation. Oh, and running a marathon without training. The boys and Tom met once a week throughout each school year. Spending six years with the same boys going through that period of their life a great adventure. Tom, an avid Christian, volunteers on Sundays at his church in the junior high ministry. Please pray for him.
Tom is a Southern California guy through and through. He loves the beach and writing books. A Divine Conspiracy is the first book in a trilogy. Tom hopes to have the second book out in six months.
