Lyda Morehouse

Lyda Morehouse writes science fiction and fantasy that places religious questions inside technologically transformed societies. Fallen Host is the second AngeLINK novel, following Archangel Protocol and preceding Messiah Node and Apocalypse Array. Roc first published it in 2002, and Wizards Tower Press later returned the sequence to print. The story continues a future Minneapolis where artificial intelligence, networked identities, angels, and public faith occupy the same political landscape. Morehouse uses investigator Deidre McMann and the enigmatic Mouse to test whether apparently supernatural events can be separated from code, institutions, or personal belief. Her other work includes the LINK Angel books and fiction written as Tate Hallaway. Fallen Host belongs to the cyberpunk side of her career, but its central questions concern trust and interpretation as much as technology. That tension gives conviction measurable consequences within an intensely connected city. By making theology part of civic life rather than decorative mythology, Morehouse gives the AngeLINK sequence a distinctive argument about how people identify authority when both machines and visions can speak.
