false 3634216 1 The world is coming to an end, and the angels don’t give a damn. Oxford, England: Marcus (who works part-time at the falafel kiosk in town) awakens to find a giant black and white bird at his window. He’s sure that’s what he sees: a giant bird with feathers that throb with sinister portent. He shakes himself awake and gets ready for work, unaware that his world no longer exists. Beijing, China: Su-Ki Chin (a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl) stands at the bus stop with her schoolmates, but their bus never arrives. Returning home, she finds the family chickens have gone berserk, chasing her brothers around the yard and leaving her parents for dead. It’s like she’s in a dream—the chickens tower over her terrified brothers. She will soon become one of those hybrid birds. Planet of the Owls, a new genreclectic novel by UK-based artist/writer Mike Philbin, is a split-narrative story that tells of the time-and-space traveling powers of the Gods who have finally arrived on planet Earth in the guise of birds: robins, crows, magpies and owls. An age-old political conspiracy is revealed among the angel clan, and mankind becomes its innocent victim. The fate of the Earth lies with Marcus and Su-Ki Chin—only their extra-species love can save a planet about to be abandoned by the Gods. Planet of the Owls is a radical new interpretation of ‘spirituality’ as seen from a higher dimension. 3677062 15 7 2008 Planet of the Owls total:7|5:2|4:2|3:1|2:1|1:1| 7 24 50 2 2 0 false false Thu Jul 16 13:41:58 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 13:46:56 -0700 2009 ]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jul 05 07:13:44 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 07:14:22 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Oct 02 05:29:52 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 05:29:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 09:12:18 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:12:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 26 03:55:27 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 03:55:27 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 16 13:49:31 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 13:49:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 14 14:42:26 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 14:42:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 22:49:42 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 22:49:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 20:35:34 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 20:35:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 15 03:30:12 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 03:30:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 13 09:04:04 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 09:04:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 05 18:25:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 18:25:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 22 14:46:46 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 14:46:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 15:39:05 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 15:39:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 11 19:06:27 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 19:06:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 21 07:36:39 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 07:36:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 16 18:06:47 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 18:06:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 27 10:28:01 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 10:28:01 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 26 10:06:53 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 10:06:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 18:43:06 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 18:43:06 -0800 2009
