" From acclaimed author David Mack comes a gripping supernatural thriller about a man who can hear other people&#8217;s prayers for help&#8212;involving him in an ancient, ongoing struggle between the forces of heaven and hell. For millennia, a supernatural war has been waged on Earth, with all the souls who dwell there as its pawns. On one side are the Called&#8212;men and women guided by guardian angels who defend humanity from its own worst impulses. On the other side are the Scorned&#8212;people influenced by fallen angels.  Tom Nash is a member of the Called who works as a handyman and makes his living doing odd jobs. He&#8217;s thirty-three years old, married, and a few weeks away from becoming a father for the first time. And since he was sixteen, he&#8217;s been hearing other people&#8217;s prayers.  So when he hears the prayers of a kidnapped young girl in New York, he leaves his pregnant wife behind to help, unknowingly becoming a key figure in the ages-old conflict between the Called and the Scorned. Expertly written, briskly paced, and featuring an edgy, cinematic style, The Calling is a page-turning thriller that readers will be unable to put down."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
