Focusing on 'worn out religious dogma' as one of the leading causes of human strife, the Trilogy turns the mythical world of good vs. evil on its head. Mantrella, a.k.a. Lucifer, is the champion of humanity, while the Archangel Michael fights to suppress human evolution by preventing the physical birth of the biblical Adam. Mantrella's basic view is summed up when he says, "It is not about saving humanity, it never has been." Human destiny is placed squarely on the shoulders of where it belongs: choice; our thoughts create our reality.

But through the arm-twisting antics of her straight-shooting, Louisiana-born grandmother, he agrees to teach the child.

Yes, there is a final battle of sorts, but as Mantrella says, "It is not about saving humanity, it never has been."
