I was astonished that this novel could so firmly grasp my imagination. The multiple plots and hidden agenda's rival those of that cinematic delight, "Diva". Clear and well delineated characters give a realism which powerfully colour the incrementing tenor of tension that Dr Yulish engineers into the text.

This is the book which changed my view that all novels are a frivolous, trivial pursuit.

Not only does Yulish present us with a broad perspective on New Age Wiccan-ness, NWO Wicked-ness, UN, UFO and Biblical 'end-times' interactions - but readers can even pick up on the 'real meaning' of all those Yiddish words they have heard, and never understood.

Truly an education adventure on many levels, melded with a gripping 'reality-time' message.

The book is a fictional account of how UFO's tie in with
end-times events.

Let me be forthright in saying that initially I was skeptical
but once I started reading the book I was hooked!

Stephen does a masterful job of following the efforts of Judah
(a messianic Jew) as he endeavors to battle the evil angel,
Azazel, who is bent on removing all Christians from the earth
through a series of UFO abductions.

Unexpected plot twists continue to keep you guessing and dreading
when you have to put the book down!

One of the most exciting scenes was where Judah flies an Apache
helicopter into the belly of Azazel's UFO to do battle with him
utilizing the armour of God. Another exciting scene is when . . .
well, I don't want to give away too much.

But let me say that I was very impressed with the book. It is a
very good read and has the added bonus of NOT CONTAINING any
bad words as other end-times books are known for. It is filled
with witnessing to both Jew and Gentile, which should help you
to see ways of reaching unsaved friends.

The Great Harpazo Deception is a fictional work which purports to reveal the 'real story of UFOs'. As such, there are two levels to assess this novel. The premise of the book is a "battle for the souls of men" between the forces of Satan and God, as seen through the eyes of the main character, a Messianic Jew...The stage is set, then, for a thrill ride of a novel.

There is good character development, plot twists galore, and more action than an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie...

The case for this showing the "real story of UFOs" is quite debatable. It essentially echoes the view espoused by most fundamentalist Christian leaders, that UFOs are demonic entities.
Those who view the phenomenon differently will find it a hard sell. Moreover, regardless of one's views of UFOs, those who hold religious or philosophical views different than what is conveyed in the book (i.e. Mormons, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, secular humanists, agnostics, etc.) will likely react in ways ranging from dismissive to finding it outright offensive.

As an action novel, the book has much to commend itself. As an answer to the UFO enigma, it really depends upon your point of view.

This is a story that is probably closer to the truth than many could imagine. The author has developed a well laid out and very intriguing plot. The author undoubtedly knows well not only the Tanakh and Brit Chadasha, but a good, if not excellent grasp of Rabbinic literature, and the interesting nature of many experiences among Jews who have come to know Yeshua as HaMashiach. However, I found the use of frequent anti-semitic slurs quite offensive, even when it was supposedly in friendly banter; as well, I would have preferred the Jewish Believers using more Hebrew terminology instead of westernized Greek when referring to Hashem and their being brought to salvation. Probably the only aspect of this book that I'll seriously kvetch about is that this is still a manuscript which definitely needs a proofreader and editor. Perhaps, the problem is primarily "farchadat" publishing.
