Ghastly demons, supernatural creatures, and speaking in unknown tongues only means one thing, according to author Paul Von Sarjay: the world as we know it is coming to an end. As an introduction to a trilogy, Tongues The Awakening, is non-stop sci-fi/fantasy that plugs directly into today's controversial world of spiritual phenomenon. Sarjay creates an intriguing, surreal tale of good versus evil, with a brave heroine, a mysterious and supernatural villain, and a cynical theologian sidekick, against the backdrop of the historical American city of Philadelphia.
