The Angriest Angel #2
The Emancipation Pattern
The Angriest Angel trilogy continues with the second book in this thrilling adventure, featuring rogue anti-hero Chase Madison.
The Caelans: they look and act like us, but they are not from this planet. They’ve lived here for years, blending in by using a mental ability called psy. And now some among their normally-peaceful ranks have become infected with anger.
Felon Chase Madison’s ADHD makes him immune to the Caelans’ power, putting him in a unique position to help. But when Avery—an uninfected Caelan—befriends him, he begins to fall in love with her.
Believing himself to be inadequate, Chase distances himself from his new friends and goes back to his old life. But when he uncovers the shocking identity of the man who shot Avery, he’s forced to return to the Caelans and explain to them that they are all in grave danger.
As they attempt to manage the crisis, Chase quickly realizes that their innocent nature makes them incapable of handling the evil headed their way.
Despite all efforts to put his criminal past behind him, Chase is forced to call upon those skills in order to help Avery and her people. But will that be enough? The villain is revealed to be the most powerful man on the planet. And Chase’s only clue in how to defeat him is something that the Caelans refer to as emancipation.

About the author
Christopher Halt
4 books631 followersChris was born in Youngstown, Ohio, but has spent most of his life in the Chicago area. A lifelong fan of reading, he wrote his first story at age of eleven titled "The Life of a Grasshopper's Tennis Shoe," a task given to him by a teacher as punishment for his inability to pay attention in class. He embraced the assignment, however, and filled an entire spiral notebook with a tale filled with antics of the grasshopper community.
Chris pursued advanced writing at the college level, but subpar grades and lack of attention to the fundamentals caused one of his professors to tell him that he would never make it as a writer. He took the advice and pursued a career in computer software, where he found success.
Then on July 6th, 2006 his life would be forever changed when he was tested and diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. While there is no cure for ADHD, he was given a treatment plan to help manage the symptoms, which enabled him to pursue writing once again.
In 2008 he published his first novel The Dharma Revelation, where it found critical acclaim on Wattpad, and a favorable Kirkus Review.
In 2010 he began writing a non-fiction piece on ADHD awareness. But he soon realized that the best way to tell his story was in novel form. Thus, The Angriest Angel was born.
The Angriest Angel was a semifinalist in the "Soon to be Famous, Illinois" writer's competition, and received a “Kirkus Starred” review, one of the most rare and coveted awards in the literary community.
It went on to become a trilogy, which was completed in 2018:
The Angriest Angel
The Emancipation Pattern
Pillars of Amorum

Just a note... If you read the first book in this trilogy, you will be rushing to get book 2 and 3. I couldn't put any of them down! Characters are wonderful, story moves along nicely without too many obvious situations. The fact that the main character had ADHD (as does the author, if I read that right) only adds to the exemplary, honest characters in this book. It's also a wonderful love story! Great trilogy! Great Read! Ahhh, to meet an alien (friendly I hope...)!

Amazing story!
I read Book 1 as a free book from NetGalley. It was so captivating that I purchased the second book. Both were very hard to put down. The author's background was one of the things that made me curious about the book. I highly recommend the series. And now, I'm off to buy Book 3!
