Cyn de Mark Carver
This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
A good book. It has it's moments. It does show what our planet will be like if we don't take care. And what can happen when one man tries to be God and build Utopia and instead builds a nightmare.I wasn't fond of the ending, but given the circumstances there wasn't much else the author could do. It was good.

Very interesting series of books. They're not my usual type of book, so I wasn't sure whether I would like them. I was a bit surprised to find myself quite drawn in from the very beginning. The dystopian future in which they are set is very well developed and the characters are rich and likeable.

In many ways, I found myself feeling like I was reading the Time machine by H G Wells. The topside pretty people and the underground bad people. Throw in a God complex and an unspoken aversion to organized religion and you have Cyn. Overall, a decent foray into fiction with bite.

“he couldn’t believe that Hell had actually come to Earth, and in the wake of that terrifying revelation, he was all but certain that the Christian church would fall before the firestorms of Lucifer. Yet faith prevailed, and though it was severely weakened, the church of God had endured that initial scathing and the tumultuous years that followed.
Now, after years of desperate survival, a new scourge loomed on the horizon like a black plague of locusts. ”
Excerpt From: Mark Carver. “THE AGE OF APOLLYON.” iBooks.
APOLLYON
A very well-crafted story of the fight between good and evil. It takes the reader to a world where Satan rules the hearts of most and God seems to have deserted his flock. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the hero and the antagonist. When Christians begin acting like savages and the satanists fall back, a new messiah arrives to do miracles and begin a reformation of the church of God. While he appears sincere, the power he wields causes his personality to prove the adage, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
There are many interesting characters in this novel. Their stories carry the reader through a long journey. This is not a quick read, but it has such a huge story to tell, it cannot be done quickly. This novel is for readers who enjoy a novel that makes them think and are willing to continue until they reach the conclusion. It is worth the time and effort to get there.… (mais)
