This
is the second in Brennan's exciting end times series. You would not
have to read The Sacred
Cipher first (read my
review here) as enough of that story is provided in this one. But
then you'd miss all the intense action leading up to this drama.
The
Temple Mount was nearly destroyed by the earthquake and the Israelis
and Muslim factions are fighting over control of the area. The
Israelis are determined to get unquestioned sovereignty over it. But
a faction of radical Islam has the goal of restoring the Caliphate. A
powerful Muslim leader is moving to break the Israeli strength and
institute the world domination of Islam.
The
Israeli's plan is to erect another sacred structure on the Temple
Mount. Caught in the middle of this is the U. S. President. He is a
Christian and he is torn. Are the last days unfolding? Is this God's
plan? He recruits Tom and his group to go to Israel and find the
sacred structure and prevent the start of another world war. Unknown
to Tom, there are deadly assassins out to keep him from completing
his task.
This
is another action packed novel from Brennan. Interwoven into the
intrigue are historical facts and information on the current
political situation in the Middle East. The author has included a
note at the end of the book giving the historical background. You
might want to read that first to really appreciate the novel.
If
you like novels that take the current world political condition and
relate it to possible biblical fulfillment, you'll like this book.
You will learn a great deal and have an exciting read in the process.
And the end of this novel is not the end of the story so I will be
eagerly awaiting the next in this series.
