Monolith is a novel by John Passarella set in the fictional universe of the . Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality.

Monolith is a novel by John Passarella set in the fictional universe of the . Following Angel's final season, the character's story is continued in the 2007 canonical comic book series Angel: After the Fall. Charles Gunn is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television series, Angel and introduced by writer Gary Campbell in the episode "War Zone". The character is portrayed by J. August Richards, and was named by Whedon after filmmaker James Gunn and actor Sean Gunn, both of whom had worked with Whedon.

Like any parent, Angel wants to understand his son. But it's hard when their different lifestyles keep getting in the way. Angel is overworked, Connor's embarrassed by Angel's taste for blood, and to make things worse Hyconian demons are running wild through the streets of L.A. There's not a lot of time for bonding -- and there's even less when a gigantic monolith appears out of thin air, right in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard. Nobody knows what to make of the massive rock with two demon faces etched into its surface. News stations think it is all an elaborate stunt to publicise a movie. Religious extremists hail it as a sign of impending doom. But one thing is certain: as Angel Investigations struggles to make sense of the menacing rock and its meaning, Angel and Connor will have to work together to survive.

One has to admire any author who attempts to tackle an ANGEL novel based on Season 4. During season 4, relationships were falling apart, Cordelia went evil nuts and Wesley became a former shadow of his Watcher role. Passarella wisely side-stepped most of the complicated issues surrounding season 4 except for the dissolving relationship between Gunn and Fred. The prologue was intriguing. Sehjenkhai, the demon protagonist, never hides what he truly is; people just refuse to acknowledge what they don't want to see, until it's too late. The monolith (the big, menacing rock)created just enough mayhem to keep our heroes busy. Cordelia's presence in this novel is minimal and Wesley is characterized like Wesley from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (wordy, non-confrontational, indecisive, soft). Wesley in season 4 of ANGEL was a hardened warrior who used intellectual slang to express himself. Passarella is usually big on the gore, but he concentrated on packing the novel with endless action sequences.

Driving in Los Angeles is always problematic, but when a giant monolith suddenly appears in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard to signal yet another impending apocalypse, things quickly come to a standstill. Except for Angel and his teammates. They know right away that it's time once again to stop sipping the pig's blood and get to work.

When an ancient demon bamboozles a failing actress into carrying out an ancient ritual that will open the portals to hell, Angel faces a series of ugly problems. Not the least of which is that neither he, nor Wesley, nor anyone else have a clue what is actually going on. They know it must be bad, since every demon in town it headed out, but what kind of bad, or how bad, is still a mystery. Everyone goes into action, but the clues are slow in coming. And time is running out.

As I've noted elsewhere, John Passarella is a natural storyteller. This time he takes a high-tension story line and fleshes it out with two of the show's most complex relationships - that between Connor and Angel (who last buried Angel in the ocean) and that between Gunn and Fred (who seem caught in a web of interlocking guilt and obligation). The result is an action story with moments of poignancy and depth.

In fact, the story has a bit of everything. Demon dogs, creepy wizards, dark soldiers, and wild chase scenes populate the narrative. The characters, who have come through some rough times, are rebalancing their interplay, and Passerella captures the increasing maturity of the cast as well as the high tension of a summoning to end all summonings. One of this year's best Angel books.

Definitely a fun book. Excellent characterization. I agree with the other reviewer who said that John did a good job with the complex Connor/Angel relationship.

The plot was fast-paced and entertaining, and it felt like an episode of the show. The writing was good, though one of the fight scenes (Connor chasing a demon) went on a bit long for me.

My only real complaint (and why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5) was the frequency of e-conversion errors. "the" was often "die," and there were a few others. That distracted me from the story.

If you like Angel, get this one. You won't regret it.

Monolith was really good, but a little disappointing. I'm not sure how to describe what I was expecting but I wanted... more oompf. I would recommend it if you're looking for a good read, but make sure you take a look at the other Angel books to see if anything else interests you more in the plot area. (you don't have to read them in order)

A chilling stone monolith carved with two demonic faces has arisen in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard, leaving many interpretations of it's actual cause. Some believe it is nothing more than an elaborate publicity stunt for a new horror movie, while religious extremists believe it's the sign of an upcoming apocalypse. The Angel Investigations team though come to truly understand the full extent of the threat that the monolith poses to mankind. And with Hyconian demons causing havoc through the streets of L.A., it soon becomes clear that differences will have to be set aside if they're to come out victorious.

Angel: Monolith is a heart pounding, thrill-packed, adventure in Joss Whedon's Angel-verse as seen through the observant eyes of the Bram Stoker Award-winning horror author, John Passarella. Passarella has seamlessly handled the tricky task of bringing life to these characters and situations within the pages of his novel while adding his own unique sense of style to make an instant lasting impact. What makes this novel extra better is the fact that it's written through the pen (or PC) of a fellow fan who has obviously paid serious attention to the way the characters behave down to the even slightest of details.

The action is cranked high throughout but really takes an epic turn in it's final pages in which Angel and co. can't seem to stay six feet away from danger. This isn't the only brilliant factor though in this outstanding novel. The character involvement is far superior to that of any other Angel novels as Passarella has cleverly placed his story in a complex time for it's characters during it's fourth season. This leaves a much stronger plot for the author to develop his story around, one in which relationship triangles and un-easy bonds between characters are tested to their furthest limits, especially that of the two central characters, Angel and his demon-hunting son Connor.

The plot that Passarella has cleverly weaved within the current situation with the Television show is unlike any other previously experienced and you're guaranteed not to read anything like it anywhere else.

Novels by John Passarella always leave a strong sense of satisfaction behind long after you've passed the final pages and undoubtedly, Angel: Monolith is no exception of this. Passarella has perfectly struck the right balance between thrilling action and a strong story making this Angel novel much more widely appealing as a whole than any other, action-heavy, novels.

Angel: Monolith is an essential purchase for every Angel fan's collection.

Highly recommended. Buy it now!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I especially loved the way that the author wrote Connor and showed his insecurities. The father/son relationship between Angel and Connor was excellent. All of the other relationships between the main characters of Season 4 of "Angel" were also very well written.
It is very clear that John Passarella understands and loves all of the main characters from "Angel."
