Book Review: The Seraph Seal -By Leonard Sweet and Lori Wagner

     The year is 2048, and Paul Binder has just received a mysterious message; speaking vaguely of the eight horsemen, and of the future of the world. Matt Serafino, the new, flagitious president of the USAMERICA, trying to cope with the many catastrophes the world is going through. Food is scarce, because of the overuse of creating synthetic energy. The four good horsemen  meet with each other in an intriguing matter, trying to piece together the seemingly unending puzzle. Paul Binder's quest is to lead humanity to a new and better future, but will he prevail, or watch the earth crumble into complete destruction?
     I found it very compelling, suspenseful, and a perfect mix of truth and fiction. I enjoyed all of the realistic characters, brought to life by the authors. The plot continued to unfold, but did not divulge anything until the final pages. I loved that while these characters were going about their business, they found their own void of truth, and of God. The catastrophic events were very well depicted, in fact, they were entirely believable. Overall, A very easy-to-read, captivating book that was impossible to put down. I would highly recommend this book to somewhat mature readers, though others may enjoy it as well.

Sincerely,

Book review: The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

     What would you do if you needed to come up with a solution to save mankind from their greed, pride, and hate? Using only two words, a group of six people, including Winston Churchill, Joan of Arc, Eric Ericson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, and the heroic David Ponder, the only traveler that was still alive had to find this solution. Not only did they have to find it in two words, but they had only five chances. Will they find the solution in time, or will humanity be destroyed? In this sequel to The Traveler's Gift, time and wits are running out.
     Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I must admit at times it was a bit hard to follow. I absolutely enjoyed the section about Eric Ericson, because I never had known all that he did during World War II, becoming a catalyst to the Nazi's downfall. I enjoyed the historical characters, and the research done on them. The mysterious question always lingered, "What should humanity do, individually and collectively in order to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?" All the while, the surprisingly simple solution is yet to be discovered. Overall, An enjoyable read for anyone who enjoys a good book.
