THE SACRED ROTA IS NOW ON AMAZON.COM. SEE THE BUY LINK IN THE RIGHT SIDE BAR!
The following is a review by Nina M. Osier.
Be sure you re-read WAKING GOD, or at least review it a bit,
before you begin WAKING GOD II: THE SACRED ROTA. Otherwise you
may have trouble following the action and keeping the characters
straight, and you don't want to do either. This tale moves along
smartly, and it features an even more varied and intriguing cast
than the first book in this planned trilogy.
Andrew, the young comparative religions professor from Book I,
knows what he needs to do. He needs to give the still sleeping
Adam flesh, by mating with a young and mysterious Middle Eastern
woman known as Mara. The time is right at last, so what can
possibly stop Andrew and Mara from coming together in
fulfillment of prophecy? Well, for one thing, there's Michael.
And then there are those who follow Michael, the great archangel
who's made it his mission to keep humanity in its current
ignorant and deluded state. Ranged on the looming battle's other
side are Mantrella, Bringer of Light, and those who follow him.
Meanwhile, Earth itself convulses as its inhabitants endure the
plagues of Revelation. Will those who can stop Michael act in
time? And even if they do, will they prevail?
Once again authors Doe and Harris draw together the whole range
of humankind's myths and spiritual beliefs, and use those
threads to weave a story no one else could have imagined. The
tale twists and turns, with new puzzles popping up even as those
from the first book resolve (at least in part), until WAKING GOD
II ends with a cliffhanger that may just make you want to
scream. Scream for the next and final installment, that is...!
