Following in the footsteps of the storytellers of his native India, R. K. Narayan has produced his own versions of tales taken from the Ramayana and the Mahabarata. Carefully selecting those stories which include the strongest characters, and omitting the theological or social commentary that would have drawn out the telling, Narayan informs these fascinating myths with his urbane humor and graceful style. "Mr. Narayan gives vitality and an original viewpoint to the most ancient of legends, lacing them with his own blend of satire, pertinent explanation and thoughtful commentary."—Santha Rama Rau, New York Times "Narayan's narrative style is swift, firm, graceful, and lucid . . . thoroughly knowledgeable, skillful, entertaining. One could hardly hope for more."—Rosanne Klass, Times Literary Supplement

In Demons, Nephilim, and Angels, Etienne explains how Satan, his demons, fallen angels, aliens, and the giant Nephilim originated and have infiltrated the original earth, the chaotic earth, the restored earth, and the world that we live in. The original earth was a spiritual world that included Lucifer, the angels, cherubs, seraphim, and other created beings and heaven. God created Lucifer and the angels to serve Him. Lucifer was determined to exercise his will to sit on God's throne. He wanted to be God and not a servant of God. Lucifer was a hybrid being, half-man and half-angel. He was the cause of the chaotic earth. In the chaotic earth, God was angry with Lucifer for trying to take His place and tampering with the genes/DNA of the other creatures that lived on the earth and the planets at that time. God destroyed the earth and Rahab, where Lucifer was king, with a flood and turned it upside down and in darkness. Lucifer was kicked out of heaven and demoted to the prince of the power of the air. After God restored the earth and recreated it, He made mankind in His image. Lucifer detests mankind and wants to alter our DNA.

It is the result of years of extensive and painstaking research. Within its pages are shocking, yet convincing revelations that force readers to reconsider what has been established as truths about mankind's past and purpose on planet Earth. It harmonizes the Biblical account of Creation and the Theory of Evolution. It applies historical events to the events described in the Biblical book of Revelation. It proves that the earth gods of antiquity are the biblical fallen angels, or demons, today's "extraterrestrials." It is non-proselytizing and reader friendly, and all theories are supported by scientific data, historical facts, and holy texts. It answers the age-old questions of: "Who are we?" "Why are we here?" and, "Where are we going?"
