"I have been reading SF since about 1970, when I was ten years old, having inherited a bookshelf of the greats - Heinlein, Herbert, Azimov, Bradbury, Vonnegut, etc, when my family moved in to a new house. Since then I have devoured just about everything in most of the genres that have populated the print and electronic worlds as they have matured along with the realities of hard science. I have also been a fan of conspiracy lit, be it templar, illuminati, or of the X-Files sort. In the last year, as a result of having an iphone and discovering [...], I have started consuming more and more SF from the `unknowns' and `unsigned' which have been showing up with a greater frequency, and the fact of the matter is:

The Day of The Nefilim is one of the best SF novels I have read since I began reading.

Maybe that's just because all of what I have read until now provided the knowledge and context to appreciate the depth of David's work, which didn't allow me to put it down until I finished it. Straight through, in one sitting. Yeah, that's right, I did not put the book down until I finished reading it. Couldn't. Well done David. Keep writing. Can't wait to read your next book... You would make Robert Anton Wilson proud, and Douglas Adams smile." -- exiledsurfer on [...]

"Scanning over the reviews of this book which you have already received, I see that all the good superlatives have already been ably employed; the richness of praise so opulent and resounding that even a great big word freak like myself is hard put to say anything that would glitter for an instant in the clamoring tide.
So, all I can say is that I love this book as much as I love all of my favorite science fiction books, and that's a quantity that defies quantifiers. Everything in this book is perfect. The ending is perfect; the villains are perfect; the characters and images and settings are perfect. I, too, could barely put it down.
And I want to also say, thank you." -- P. Deering

"This was an excellent read. Elements of Moorcock, Heinlein and Barker. Deserves serious consideration for the avid SF reader. Hopefully will spawn some more installments in the story line. Also feel it has the makings of a good screenplay. Thanks for the great writing David!" -- Ron W.

"And just as Pig `was going to have a crap in the grass, then a roll in the mud', it finished. Great read, I hope to see more. Reminds me a lot of that Triffids book which sticks in my mind from about 40 years ago. Good read :) " -- be1952

Good story. Lots of nice science fiction detail: strange aliens, end of the world scenario, weird flying ships, invisibility, ugly despot. Can't get enough of this stuff. Includes a great view of a better life beyond the war zone. Looking forward to the next one. What's Alexis going to get us into now?

The Day Of The Nefilim by D. L. Major is an impressively written science fiction saga that involves culture clashes between humans, underground mutant races who yearn for the surface, an alien civilization chasing after their lost home planet in Earth's solar system, and much, much more. The Day Of The Nefilim is highly recommended to science fiction enthusiasts as an engaging, mixed-up adventure of conflict, negotiation, back-stabbing, conspiracy, -- and a small-town girl who unknowingly impacts upon it all.

Readers comment on The Day of the Nefilim:

"...this is excellent full-on fantasy SF that incorporates current parallels and a unique and engrossing universe. An interesting blend of 2D and 3D characters and an interesting `life in the interior' scenario. When's the movie coming?" - R.S.

"I've read a lot of SF and conspiracy theories in my time, watched thousands of SF movies and documentaries, but I've never come across anything like this!" - E.V.

"It ranks, in my mind, with L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth. Would be a great movie. Please continue." - L.G.

"Oh my. I almost quit work to finish this. I got lost in the awesome surrealism of this novel. When I started reading, I couldn't put it down." - L.W.

"Great story! One of the most original I've read in a long time! Brilliant use of characters and current events. I couldn't put it down." - M.F.

"It's an odd book." - D.S.

"Okay, okay. That was cooooool." - M.P.
