Book Review-Elijah Hael-The Genetic Code-Steve Goodwin


This is a story about good vs evil fought by the angelic forces against the demonic forces right here on earth. Of course the humans are totally unaware of what is happening and how they are being manipulated!--except a few privileged ones who can see and speak to the angels. This is the second book in this series but as I have not read the first I can honestly state that it can be read as a stand alone. I already have the third in this series waiting for me to read so I won't have to wait all that long to see what happens next and who will succumb to the evil forces and who will not!! It is hard to put a name to the genre this book falls into---it is a combination of many!!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

A dazzling, thought provoking, combination of faith versus secular beliefs, science fiction, spiritual warfare, action adventure and romance.

Yesterday's gone. Tomorrow is a distant hope. Now means everything...

Nya struggled to believe her accomplishment. Nearly a decade's work was all coming together. This was her moment. The Nobel Prize would be hers for the taking. Her work was going to change the face of bio-science forever.

The only problem was someone with an exceptionally dark desire wanted to twist her work for sinister purposes that would change the face of life on Earth forever. And he was prepared to go to any lengths to get it.

Thus began a chain of startling events that would force Nya to place her trust in an unknown man whom she discovered from archived news reports ... died years ago.

Journey with Nya, a believer, as her faith is tested. Join Isaac, a non-believer, who questions his existence. Discover how they face death together in a remarkable adventure. An emotionally rich escapade which will delight those who quest personally challenging and thought provoking reads.

After a difficult childhood Steve developed a fascination with the nature of the supernatural, spiritual and physical words and how they affect the lives around us. This led him on a journey spanning two decades of studying, experiences and discovery.

Steve is inspired by authors such a J.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) and C. S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia) who mix fantasy and reality while promoting Christian values.

    I love when a series doesn't necessarily have to rely on previous books to be a good read. This sounds super interesting!

    Oh! You do book reviews! HAve you done any book reviews on North Korea? I only heard of one book on an escapee from a North Korean camp, but not much else... I want to find one to learn more about that situation.

    I would like to invite you to my birthday giveaway on my bloggie! I'm giving away a gorgeous pair of fair trade earrings (US addresses only though.) I look forward to your visit! ;)
