About the book:
Suppose you learned that an ancient prophecy about an artifact, said to be powerful enough to dramatically change the world, was true. Would you risk everything to find it?

It has been five-hundred years since the Pulse caused the Great Collapse, ending the Golden Age, and civilization on planet Earth. Humanity has waited ever since for a long-anticipated sign from God, which has finally appeared in the night sky. The time has come for Ferrell Young, the Warrior Clan, and the Church to risk everything in an effort to restore civilization, and bring hope to a world full of despair.(more)

My Review: 4.5 stars
A very well written,simple yet complicated plot that takes the readers to a time where earth  and its people striving and survival seems almost impossible yet there’s always hope!

I like and enjoyed reading this! it took and made me want the good guys to succeed the battle at the end.All the things written here seems all so real and about to happen which I hope and pray would not. The characters I love! some I hate with a passion which made them so effective all their emotions, dilemmas, struggles,faith etc on their journey was really hard and painstaking they made me want to read more and faster so at least that would uplift some of their burden but of course it will all unfold in due course.. like them I’d also risk it all to restore civilization I once knew what an epic adventure!

My Review: 4 out of 5 stars


I’m a Catholic but that doesn’t stop me from reading The Torah Codes by Ezra Barany there are some parts at the beginning of the book that lost me but I eventually found my way back to digest lots of random rants,things that doesn’t make sense at first but I truly enjoyed some other side quest along the way to the truth which greatly entertained and filled me with knowledge and awareness. I’m not really good at deciphering codes,solving mysteries and such I'm often stumped/clueless it took me lots of time and great amount of effort to even decode one thing I guess most of us do..I can so relate on each and every character dilemma as I move on with the rest of the story I found out that the protagonist Nathan's a bit paranoid and bi-polar,an intelligent guy, earned some good money for a living,odd sense of humor, freakin  hilarious and Sophia who depends most of her life decisions and earnings in her favorite tarot decks which are most of the time true! shocking I know..as I read and journeyed along with them all those lies,mysteries,superstitions,card readings,revelations,spiritual calling,quest and missions of the secret society lurking about that tooks years in the making to accomplish has all enlightened me! It also made me appreciate more all kinds of religions, our diverse nature and culture. This confirms and correlates each aspect of things in life.The antagonist Luke McCourt he's really quite nice..yet creepy in a way that goes well in the cycle along with other team members I got so caught up with all his lies during his train conversation with Sophia I almost believed him.


I like the fact page at the end of the book which separates it from fiction plus the essays from very highly respected individuals on their field.I love the gadget that was made for the greater good I’d like that to exist in reality so that would solve  power shortage,world crisis,anything! I'd also like to see more of Nathan and Sophia to know up to where their brewing love would take them. All in all no matter what religion we’re in the God we all worship and glorify is in fact the same one and only God we just call him/her differently, takes form in lots of ways, there’s a little bit of God within us all we  have to do is find out.
