Product Description

Product Description

The Last Degree is a fictionalized account of how Freemasons and other secret societies set up the world for takeover. Ancient writings foretell a ‘Shining One’ who emerges as the world’s prophet. A murder of a Most Worshipful mason resembles a secret oath. A cop gets too close to solving the crime. Paranoid preppers go underground, preparing for war.
Headlines such as the Norway massacre, meltdown of the European Union, unscrupulous media, animal die-offs, Middle Eastern unrest, and U.S. shrinking power make the plot relevant to present day. This book is an ode to Christians, Birthers, 2012ers, Truthers, preppers, and/or other conspiracy junkies who enjoy Dan Brown, Jesse Ventura, Brad Meltzer, Alex Jones, Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. A sequel will soon be available.

Review of The Last Degree by Dina Rae

5 stars

A complicated murder/terrorism/secret society mystery bouncing back and forth between time periods, "The Last Degree" also includes elements of romance and love; political stances and affiliations; and a plethora of "behind the scenes" kingmaking, queenmaking, and juggling of governments and economies. The novel doesn't blink at violence, either, whether on the individual scale or on the mass scale. Much of the covert activity is due to the higher councils of Freemasonry, but the Illuminati are also included, and an annual meeting called "Vanderbild" which strongly put me in mind of the rumours about Bohemian Grove.

Although I didn't read this in one sitting, the story did maintain my reader's attention throughout. Most definitely fans of Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" are going to devour "The Last Degree," as are conspiracy theorists of many stripes, and all who expect and are concerned about a coming "New World Order" and "one-world government."

4.0 out of 5 stars A Conspiracy Theorists Dream! 26 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I received a copy of this book by the author in return for an honest review.

This book is a conspiracy theorists dream! It certainly got me thinking about certain past events, and what the future holds!

There are too many points of view from different characters in this book to do a character breakdown, so I will refrain in this instance.

This story begins in 2000 and jumps between the years 1964 and 2012. It is told in a "past, present and future" style that I found slightly disconcerting. There are many different character timelines with in those time frames. However, as the time lines converge, the story takes a real twist. The story follows a few key people (fictionalized) belonging to the Freemasons and Illuminati and their plan for globalization. There is a prophecy, dating back to biblical times, about the rise of the "Shining One", a man who will bring peace to the world through New World Order.

As I was reading this book, I was struck by how well researched the subject matter was. Although the Freemasons have been shrouded in secrecy for hundreds of years, I doubt their secrets will be revealed in the future either. However, I did find myself struggling with belief (or is that disbelief?) of some of the claims in the book about what the people in the inner circles get up to. I also found this book quite a heavy read; I felt like I was wading in mud in places, because there was very little in the way of action; this book is very plot driven. The latter part of the book sees the action start to heat up though! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and I am looking forward to reading the next book to find out what happens next.

Dina Rae has created a fantastic thriller/suspense/dystopian novel that will keep the conspiracy theorists paranoid for a while longer! I recommend this book if you love a good conspiracy/thriller. - Lynn Worton

4.0 out of 5 stars They will do whatever it takes to rule the world. 29 Sep 2012
By Nancy Allen (The Avid Reader) - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a copy of The Last Degree from the author for a review via Full Moon Bites.

The Last Degree is about the Freemasons, the Illuminati and other secret societies wanting to take over the world. It is written in different POV's which is good I think because you get to know what each character is thinking and feeling. They will do whatever it takes to rule the world. Whatever it takes means murder, blackmail, embezzlement ect...

Then you have what are called the Preppers who are trying to stop the Freemasons from taking over the world. The Preppers build their own little worlds and stock up on all different kinds of supplies. Like weapons, food and whatever you need to survive an apocalypse.

I usually don't read many books of this nature but when I read the summary I knew I had to read this one. It was my chance to learn or find out more about the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Yes, I am one of those that thinks that this could one day happen to us. Maybe not in the same way but it could happen. They are some things in the book that I do agree with and think that we as human beings should already have done. I believe that we are one so therefore we should do away with imaginary borders.

I can not begin to comprehend all the research that Dina Rae must have put into writing this book. It is brilliantly written. Between all the characters in the book and the way she would go from the present to the past. The Last Degree is one of those books that will keep you on the edge of your seat hanging on and you just have to know what is going to happen next. You don't want to put it down and when you have to it is definitely not because that is something that you want to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Degree 3 July 2012
By Jersey Girl Book Reviews / Jersey Girl Sizzling Book Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
The Last Degree is an intriguing conspiracy theory novel filled with an intricate agenda by the Freemasons to gain control and dominate the world in order to create a one global government. The storyline focuses on the conspiracy of the Freemasons, and their attempt at a global takeover by any means necessary to attain their goal ... New World Order.

The author weaves a fascinating tale rich with descriptions of the secret societies and attention to detail backed with historical research and documentation. The characters are realistic and calculating, it makes one ponder about just how powerful and dangerous these people can really be if their plans were ever realized. As a person who generally doesn't read this type of novel, I have to admit that it made me sit up and wonder 'what if?' ... I'm sure that this is exactly what author Dina Rae had intended when she wrote this novel, and I think she's succeeded. I can only imagine the depth of research that went into this novel, this is a really intriguing story that will make people sit up and take notice. I think author Dina Rae has found herself a new home among the conspiracy theorist authors, kudos on a fascinating novel.

Conspiracy theory fans, this novel is right up your alley, so place this one on your reading list, you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for conspiracy buffs! 3 July 2012
By Alex Newton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
*SPOILER ALERT* *DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS*

Conspiracy buffs awaiting the next Dan Brown novel can stop holding their
breath, Dina Rae has provided what you need in The Last Degree.

This book follows an extremely intricate plot full of agendas and struggles
for world domination. As is indicated by the front cover image of the
Masonic Blue Lodge ring, this book primarily focuses on the conspiracy of
the Freemasons, specifically 33rd degree Scottish Rite masons, to attain
control of the world through all means necessary, including murder,
political intrigue and satanism.

Preppers Unite! One of the major characters in the book is a prepper and
has built an entire compound with...nope, not telling...read it yourself!
Dina Rae did some very good research and put together what some preppers
might call "Prepperland".

All in all I recommend this book to anyone out there that enjoys Dan Brown
or the "conspiracy" genre in general, you will not be disappointed!
