Angels from Hell
(The first book in the Angel Chronicles series)(1973)
A novel by
Mick Norman (Laurence James)
The four books in Mick Norman's notorious Angel Chronicles: Angels from Hell, Angel Challenge, Guardian Angels and Angels on my Mind, are here presented in a single compendium edition, making available these classics of wild youth culture for the first time in twenty years. The Angel Chronicles present a vision of a nightmare near-future which is even more chillingly relevant now than when they first appeared.
England, turn of the millenium. Government repression has driven the Hell's Angels underground; yet they still exist. The final outlaws. From their hide-out in the mountains of Snowdonia, Gerry Vinson leads his chapter, the Lasst Heroes into battle. Apart from police and government manipulation, the Angels must contend with The Ghouls - a satin-jacketed yet sadistic rival chapter - as well as unscrupulous rock promoters who need them as cannon fodder against the emerging breed of razor-wielding teen rock fans and, above all, the deadly new threat from gangs of strutting, scented, ultra-violent mod-skinhead hybrids: the skulls.
The result is a brutal, mythopoeic odyssey of sex, drugs, madness, betrayal and violent death; the outsider aesthetic taken to its logical extremes.
