Usually
when I write a review it is fresh from having just finished reading the
book. Here is a novel that defies any
certain description; it is packed with the message of Jesus plus themes,
characters, etc… I can tell you that
this book is riveting with a whopper of a storyline. You’ll have to decide for yourself what that
is by reading this book.
The
geography in this novel is global though most action takes place in Dubai, the Unites
States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The protagonists are from all the countries mentioned; the antagonists
come from the same regions too. There
are believers who are weak in the faith and must choose what to do now that the
unthinkable has happened. Some of the
believers are reaching out and speaking unashamedly about the need to repent,
seeking God with all their hearts.
As a
teaser, the novel has a lot of action, adventure, spies, assassins, and those
who commit treason. All agencies of the
Armed Forces are represented in this novel as the President has been receiving
messages from a source known only as the Prophet. The Prophet has been telling the President he
must call the United States to repentance before the Lord unleashes his
chastisement. The President is a strong
believer who knows God has called him to lead this great nation, but is the
Prophet for real or something else?
Different
characters in the Executive Branch are supposed to be working together to help
America, but there is one woman in a position of extreme trust who is about to
be found out. She has been doing the
unthinkable. An FBI specialist named
Megan is a computer genius and she has been more help in tracking down those
doing evil than anyone is aware of. Jon works
for the CIA. His military record is
exemplary, but he is so angry at God that all he wants to do is catch the
Prophet, not looking at the bigger picture let alone acknowledging God. Boz was in the armed forces before retiring
and becoming a pastor, and he is a very close friend to the President. Boz knows more about the other people he is
working with then they themselves know.
Now
there is a more imminent threat that the United States cannot handle alone. Other foreign nations want no part in helping
the United States in their hour of need for fear that the enemy will then
unleash unrelenting evil on them. So
what happens to the government, the people, and those who serve America when
all Hades breaks loose? I can’t tell you
anymore. You are going to have to grab a
copy and read this excellent work of fiction.
Plan to sit and read as the story reaches out from the pages and pulls
you in. The chapters are short, which
makes it easy to put it down if you have to, but you aren’t going to want
to! Wow, enjoy the adventure when you
read!
My rating is 5+ stars!
