<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"As usual, the angel Doloriel has a few problems. Doloriel - or Bobby Dollar, as his friends on Earth and his even more numerous enemies call him - has already been to Hell to try to retrieve his beloved Caz from the clutches of an archdemon named Eligor. That mission failed. Now, not only does Caz (who's actually a demon, herself, but still a nice person) remain a prisoner in the place of Eternal Punishment, but Bobby's friends and informants are deserting him right and left and his new apartment seems to be haunted. Also, somebody high in the heavenly hierarchy wants Bobby eliminated. And we're not talking about downsizing, we're talking about utter destruction. When you're a minor angel, and pretty much everything you've been doing is against the rules, that's called trouble. When you add neo-Nazis, other-dimensional monsters, and the world's ugliest automobile into the mix, that's even more trouble. And when you combine all that with Hell's most powerful demons and at least one of Heaven's most powerful angels wanting northing more that to see you burning forever in Hell - well' that more than trouble. That's called The End, and for Bobby Dollar, it's approaching fast"--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Where does an angel go when he's been to Hell and back? <p/>Renegade angel Bobby Dollar does not have an easy afterlife. After surviving the myriad gruesome dangers Hell oh-so-kindly offered him, Bobby has returned empty-handed - his demon girlfriend Casmira, the Countess of Cold Hands, is still in the clutches of Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell. Some hell of a rescue. <p/>Forced to admit his failure, Bobby ends up back at his job as an angel advocate. That is, until Walter, an old angel friend whom Bobby never thought he'd see again, shows up at the local bar. The last time he saw Walter was in Hell, when Walter had tried to warn him about one of Bobby's angel superiors. But now Walter can't remember anything, and Bobby doesn't know whom to trust. <p/>Turns out that there's corruption hidden within the higher ranks of Heaven and Hell, but the only proof Bobby has is a single feather. Before he knows it, he's in the High Hall of Heavenly Judgement - no longer a bastion for the moral high ground, if it ever was, but instead just another rigged system - on trial for his immortal soul... <p/><i>Sleeping Late on Judgement Day</i> is the third installment of Tad Williams' urban fantasy Bobby Dollar series!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the Bobby Dollar series: <p/><b>Delicious, crunchy, Hellish fun</b>....
