I was recently told about this novel and I thought I would look it up. Guardian: The Beginning is the debut release from author Pernell Gibson and I’m not really sure how to classify it.
In the year 2017 most of mankind has become complacent and reckless, depending mainly on logic and finite wisdom. Psalmulus Grey, an emotionally scarred, fifteen-year-old participant of this world order, lives within its guidelines until one night when an angel of God appears before him and makes it clear that he is one of the Father’s chosen. Meanwhile a much more sinister plan is unfolding within the city of Neo Creek between Maxwell Steeleworthy, a wealthy capitalist, and Zegudalia, a demonic being from the Abyss. In an epic battle of divined proportions, Psalmulus manifests vast supernatural abilities as he struggles with the decision to fulfill God’s will for his life and become a Guardian of Light or succumb to his own vengeful desires. Many forces from the side of light as well as darkness rise to the occasion to see their goals met as Psalmulus is forced to do battle with humans and demons alike, but most of all–himself.
It sounds like it could be either Science Fiction or Urban Fantasy, but I would hazard a guess that it’s definitely Young Adult. I haven’t had my hands on it yet, but if you’re looking for something new, check out Guardian: The Beginning by Pernell Gibson and then let me know what you think.

These are really strange names for something that only takes place 8 years from now.
Yeah, I thought the names were a little out there too.
I like the sound of this one. And Amazon has the Kindle version for $.80–but…customers who bought this book only bought one other…The Bible.
It sounds a little cartoonish, but I don’t hold that against it. Could be a good read if I ever come across it.
