Synopsis

Following the bestselling novels The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things comes the final installment of Paul Hoffman’s stark, epic trilogy. 
Thomas Cale has been running from the truth….
 
Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose—to destroy God’s greatest mistake, mankind itself—Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.
 
Cale is a paradox: arrogant and innocent, generous and pitiless. Feared and revered by those who created him, he has already used his breathtaking talent for violence and destruction to bring down the most powerful civilization in the world.
 
But Thomas Cale’s soul is dying. As his body is racked with convulsions, he knows that the final judgment will not wait. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale’s sense of vengeance leads him back to the heart of darkness—the Sanctuary—and to confront the person he hates most in the world…. 

Includes the essay Making the World Strange: An Essay by Paul Hoffman.

The Beating of His Wings is the conclusion of the story of Thomas Cale, The Left Hand of God (or is he)? I felt torn about the first book, ambivalent about the second, and I was bored, and irritated, by the third. Rarely have I given a two star review, and it is hard for me to do. The author obviousl......more

Goodreads review by Kristina on December 01, 2013

A tak tu máme konec jedné skvělé trilogie... zavřela jsem knihu s jemným úsměvem na rtech. Posledních padesát stránek tu bylo velké finále, které v žádném případě neskončilo tak, jak jsem si představovala a přitom mě to nezklamalo. Možná tahle závěrečná část nepředčila první díl, ale rozhodně je svý......more

Goodreads review by Toralf on March 10, 2014

What? is this the end of the book? It was for so long such a promising story. I was waiting for something big to happen, but the book only drags on with no development. There are a lot of threads that have nothing-as far as I can see-with the story of the book. The whole book is giving an impression......more

Goodreads review by Antonio on October 16, 2017

Non è il peggiore dei tre, ma è alquanto deludente. Pazienza, sempre meglio che restare col dubbio su come potesse finire.......more
