Not one of Celia Ree's best; I was disappointed because it seemed to meander and has the terrible "and it was all a dream" type ending! Ugh! Starts very promising with a cult that commits mass suicide where there is only one survivor a girl Zillah, who ends up in hospital with our hero Adam. (A-Z geddit?) This is a story about time and fractures in time and the end of the world and how our 2 protagonists must fight to save the end of the world. As you can tell from this review, it was all same old, same old and I'd give it 1 out of 5. Ambitious, intriguing, compelling -- but the finale couldn't quite match the soaring epic drive of the book's heart. I loved the detailed use of the occult from many cultures, the books-within-a-book, the varied characters, the thrilling chase sequences and the mixture of realism and fantasy. It's rare that I want a book to end with the suggestion of a sequel, but this is one book where I would have swapped the ending for the promise of more! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Reports of miraculous phenomena are coming in... A crying statue. A bleeding crucifix. Around the globe, strange signs point to the end of days. Our world is unravelling. As foretold in ancient texts, and marked by the Mayan Long Count, time has nearly run out. Foreshadowed by a sequence of bizarre phenomena and natural disasters, the End Time is fast approaching. Only Abraham Black has the knowledge to stop this from happening, ancient wisdom inherited from those who have gone before him: Edwardian scholar, Aurel Lockwood and American adventurer, Brice Ambrose Stone. With the help of his son, Adam, suicide cult survivor, Zillah, and streetwise Kris, he hopes to outwit the sinister forces ranged against him before it is too late. To succeed, Adam and the others must travel back into the deep past. They must survive in a doomed world, dominated by terrifying Beast Gods, and defeat an adversary of awesome power who is bent on utter destruction. The oldest evil is waiting. It is time.
