书名：Desert Angels《沙漠天使》

简介：The end of the world, December 23. Nuclear war has come and gone, but planet Earth is now a radioactive graveyard, where the laws of physics no longer apply; the dead walk, and angels, demons and ghosts apparently populate the planet.

A survivor to this backdrop of horror is a scientist and medical doctor, Jack Calisto, whose wife had foreseen Armageddon shortly before she died two years earlier. He constructed a facility to take care of survivors and to ensure a small community of human beings survived. Plagued by mutants called Maddogs,

Jack and his people are also faced with irradiated horrors called Stiffers - zombie-like monstrosities that kill without reason. Jack is assisted by a mysterious entity that will not reveal itself to him - called the Guardian Angel. The Angel is actually the reincarnation of his dead wife who has come back to help him battle the forces of evil now unleashed on Earth. She is a bird by day, and turns human by night when Jack is asleep. She can only communicate to him in the written word, and informs him of a young woman he must save, Laura, who may be the new Eve to mankind. Jack Calisto is both scientist and warrior, up against impossible odds, in a world that now defies every known law of nature.
