A very strange scientist insists on meeting the main character, Evan Wycliff. He tells him about a fake second coming that will use major technology. Meanwhile, another preacher is luring hopeless and homeless individuals to a ranch. These people are told that they must starve for redemption. Once a young lady Evan knows reaches the ranch, he is pulled into a scandalous disaster.
This book gets right into it on the first page! Grabbing the reader’s attention with such intrigue that we immediately want to know. The strangeness of the first conversation creates a mysterious backdrop for the rest of the book. Evan doesn’t need to get involved, but I can appreciate why he must. He has an unwritten duty to a congregation that is no longer his.
Evan’s snooping leads us on a wild journey into a cult. I have always found cults fascinating, and how Gerald Everett Jones introduces the cult is spectacular. The leader is charming and yet very sinister. When Evan meets him, it is like walking into a wolf den. I won’t spoil it, but woah!
The ending was dissatisfying in a satisfying way. I grew attached to what I thought the outcome should be, but the ending we got was more logical for the story. You must read it to understand.
Overall, I think this was an entertaining read. If you like a little mystery this is a good choice.
