Book Description

7 Mar 2007
THE ASCENSION BEGINS. A Catholic bishop. A Quaker prayer leader. A Methodist minister. A Mormon ward leader. An entire congregation of Seventh Day Adventists. What do they have in common? They all minister to people's spiritual needs. And someone-or something-is ripping them to shreds for it. A BLOODY WARNING. Police detective Caldwell "Cal" Evans, still three weeks shy of completing rehab, is called in on the case. His only clue is a chilling message written in blood at the first murder scene: "Leave the Christ alone. He does not belong to you." THE SERPENT SHALL REIGN. With bodies piling up, Cal and his partner, Velvet Rabinowitz, chase leads involving snake-handling cults, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and an ancient ceremony left unfinished for two thousand years. With the help of a graduate student and an enigmatic Roman Catholic priest, the two detectives do more than fight for their lives. .THEY FIGHT FOR US ALL.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Frightening" Doesn't Do this Books Justice 3 April 2007
Format:Paperback
This is a scary book. It starts off with a bang and never slows. The blood keeps spilling the bodies pile up and the protagonists, charged with solving the bloody crimes are in way over their heads. This is a horror story with all the makings of a classic.

I found the writing easy to get into and the characters not only believable, but fun. No doubt some will say the book is a tad blasphemous...but it's all in good fun. It's fiction after all.

In short, one of the best horror novels I've read. Worth a gander.

1.0 out of 5 stars Laughable 14 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
This is book is laughable. The book should be removed from the horror lists on Amazon, and filed under total trash. It is not scary, there is no supense, the plot is predictable, it's just a bad book. How anybody could give this book five stars is beyond me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful. 5 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This is not a scary book. It is laughable. Why is this novel appearing in so many horror lists on Amazon? The characters are indistinct, the dialogue is excruciating and the plot is like a parody of a Dan Brown novel. If this is supposed to be a send up, it even fails at that. A complete waste of money, since it manages to bore on every level. Rubbish.
