Before it appears, there'll be a standalone novel, already completed, entitled THE TRANSLATORS. There are conflicting reports on rasfw as to its nature: Kevin Maroney believes it's "a science fiction novel with angels as major characters" ... but another poster quotes LOCUS as saying it's a mainstream novel.
I misremembered what I had read. Crowley says in his interview with Alice Turner that it is
a book with very different ambitions (though it too deals with the powers
and great angels). It's called The Translator and will be out in about
a year. It's a love story about poets and poetry, and it takes place at
a Midwestern university at the time of the Cuban missle crisis. ...
[It is] only marginally science fiction.
