This book is eye-opening. I'm Native American and I'll tell you this, truth is stranger than fiction. History is written by the victor, but the Elders tell a different story that holds true. On a different side-note (not related to the book), don't disrespect Native Americans by saying that Europeans or Africans were here in North America first. I question it too (I have my own theories), but I don't disrespect other Indigenous tribes across the world by blatantly saying that another people were there first than the current people. I believe the words from my People and the Elders are the history. But a Great book though! lol

Before reviewing the story, a comment: If you write for publication, don't insult your readers by failing to edit your manuscript properly. It doesn't matter how good your story is, if errors and inconsistencies are scattered throughout the book, people will put it down.If you use voice recognition software, you need to read through the manuscript to check for errors. In this book, the wrong word turned up many times. For example, in chapter 21: "Why the warning? Was their some sort of evil..." contains a basic error. It is frustrating to encounter faults like this scattered throughout the manuscript. The book is hard to read for this reason.Early in the book (my Kindle version doesn't do page numbers), one location is mentioned, and pages later a different one is (from the context they are both supposed to be the same place).The chapter headings are inconsistent throughout the manuscript. In some places they are in large bold type at the top of a new page; in other places (for example Chapters 17 and 24) they are a continuation of the text without a page break or headline. That is plain sloppy.As a reader I feel short changed.The story itself is promising. The premise is believable enough to anyone who has studied Biblical prophecy. The novel follows the standard quest structure that we see in mass market thriller novels, although the characters in this one are not as well developed. The story takes the characters well past their comfort zones, and their responses are quite well played. There is enough humour to lighten the mood of what would otherwise be a depressing, dank story. Some of the baddies are a little bit too stereotypically hell bent on controlling the world (not to mention, Italian and Nazi). Others are too stereotypically obsequious to their leaders (and accepting of their random violence).There is only one female character and her job is to look pretty while bickering with our hero. If the authors don't know what's wrong with this, I suggest they study demography.Few of the exotic locations in this book are described; main characters have minimal interaction with the communities there. This is understandable, since most of the action happens underground, but a hint of local colour would have helped. When local colour was attempted, it fell flat. The interaction with locals in Turkey was ridiculous. One doesn't "jabber" a one-word response.This novel started well, introduced believable characters and placed them in a mind bending situation. It progressed as a search or quest, in which goodies were a little too innocent and baddies quite psychotic. Sometimes it was hard to figure out who the goodies and baddies were. The use of fictitious technology to help characters travel the globe quickly was useful in maintaining the pace. However, the story eventually got into completely unbelievable, although sadly predictable, territory. Attacks on the White House are standard fare in American thrillers but that scenario is old. It has been done. What is it about American authors that makes them assume that the centre of the world is Washington, DC - or that the only heroes in the world are, by definition, American? American exceptionalism plays well to domestic audiences who have been raised on a staple diet of this, but non Americans find it offensive. Why not attack the European Parliament or the International Space Station - or UN headquarters in New York? The notion that American Generals always have good intentions is laughable in the light of modern history.The book is not resolved in any meaningful sense. The battles are won, and the clean up begins, but Josh's fate feels wrong, particularly the way that character plays at the very end of the book. It's hard to know if the story is finished. Perhaps the authors intend a sequel. If so, they should get rid of the voice recognition software and use word processing instead.

It was a very entertaining book. The only problem was incorrect words. I think if an editor removed the distraction of wrong words the book would be MUCH better.

I enjoyed the book it is based on his research and brought many truths into the story which I found easy to read and enjoyed the movie like descriptive writing style in this book. I enjoy reading about truth in a story because it makes it more enjoyable than a text type book I wish his other books where in kindle format and not so expensive to purchase. I enjoy listening to him on the different radio shows he does am surprise he is still alive due to his subject matter and the fact he is a watchman. Some people wrote that the story wasn't full enough but it made it easy to understand the basic truths he was introducing to the reader. I think a lot of people would or will have a hard time realizing how much truth was within its pages due to subject matter. Truth much of the time is stranger than fiction and yes I know this book was the work of fiction, the story, not the subject matter.

I was surprised how gripping the stray was. I read it in two day. Would make a great movie. I wonder how much is fact in the fiction. Great for teens too

My only wish is it were longer. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and found it hard to put it down.

Awesome book. Riveting until the end. Great blend of fact and fiction. I recommend it to anyone. I really enjoyed it

Recommended authors.

I did't get this book. I realized after ordering that it was a kindle book. I downloaded the kindle app for my android but the book is not there. I do think I paid for the book. Cannot retrieve it. I clicked on the star rating because I cannot submit this without it.
