In War in Heaven Williams gives a contemporary setting to the traditional story of the Search for the Holy Grail. Examining the distinction between magic and religion, this eerily disturbing book graphically portrays a metaphysical journey through the shadowy crevices of the human mind."e;Reading Charles Williams is an unforgettable experience."e;-SATURDAY REVIEW"e;...one of the most gifted and influential Christian writers England has produced this century."e;-TIME"e;Charles Williams's firm conviction that the spiritual world is not simply a reality parallel with that of the material one, but is rather its source and its abiding infrastructure, is explicit in both the manner and matter of all he wrote. Hence the unique contribution offered by his novels to the materialistic age in which these characters live and behave and their plots unfold."e;-OWEN BARFIELD"e;Charles Williams took the form of the thriller and used it to create an extraordinary genre that has sometimes been called 'spiritual shockers.' His books are immensely worth reading, even if you consider yourself unspiritual and immune to shock."e;-HUMPHREY CARPENTER"e;...satire, romance, thriller, morality, and glimpses of eternity all rolled into one."e;-THE NEW YORK TIMES
